I've noticed the leaves on my tree aren't looking too good. Does anyone know what is wrong with it and what I can do to fix it? Thanks! (Please look at the photo above.)

Answer 1

sorry not to burst your bubble but those are leaves

Answer 2

It's Maple Anthracnose and it is really bad this year because we have had really severe weather all over the middle and eastern part of the U.S. It is especially bad in Maple and Sycamores.
