RangerClay Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 I'm having a problem with a hickory tree in my yard. The leaves have just popped out the last two weeks. Now the leaves have large brown patches and they are falling off the tree. I tried a google search with little results, can any of you help?

Tominator Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 Re: Know anything about hickory trees Look up the word "anthracnose" in Google. I'm betting your tree has this fungus. Don't worry, it's actually pretty common and doesn't hurt the tree. As soon as this cool damp weather changes the tree will re-leaf out and you won't know the difference. It is a good idea to pick up the fallen leaves and burn them though. That kills the spores so you don't have this problem in the future. If you look at Ash, Buckeyes, Horse Chestnut, and especially Sycamores in your area, and see the same symptoms, I'd bet my next paycheck that anthracnose is your problem.

Tominator Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 Re: Know anything about hickory trees I couldn't find a picture of a hickory infected with anthracnose, but I found this picture.
