Black spots on Pear Tree leaves
Comments (4)Looks like damage from pear blister mites and perhaps aphids as well. These are not critical problems but could be pretty much eliminated with a good dormant spraying program. As to the fruit falling off, do you have a second pear tree around? Pears are not self-fertile and need a second one of a different type to cross pollinate. Fruit may well develop on a single tree but will abort without proper pollination....See MoreTree Leaves with black spots in clusters - help?
Comments (3)Your tree is a maple and it has tar spot. It's a common fungal problem and while unsightly and can cause a lot of early leaf drop, it is not particularly harmful to an otherwise healthy tree. It is aggravated by plentiful rainfall and that is likely the only connection to what's happening with the lawn - that is very likely a fungal issue as well. the Lawn Care forum has been inundated with posts about this issue this season. The next time Tru Green shows up, ask them to apply a lawn fungicide....See MorePlease Help! Pear tree leaves with black spots

Comments (6)Thank you, Silica. I will contact the local Extension service. Meanwhile I found this on Citrus Black Spot: https://www.aphis.usda.gov/aphis/ourfocus/planthealth/plant-pest-and-disease-programs/pests-and-diseases/citrus/citrus-black-spot/citrus-black-spot . The description of the spots does not quite match what I am seeing and fortunately the fruit has not been affected. My lemon tree started as a volunteer. Its parents may have been commercial citrus cultivars but it grew from a seed spread by the wind or wildlife. I wasn't sure what it was when it first appeared in my garden but it was too close to a rosebush so I put it in a small pot. That was about 10 years ago. I have 2 other store-bought lemon trees but they are more than 40 feet away and so far neither has spotted leaves....See Moreyugoslava
