    Default Black Spots

    Hi All,

    I have black spots on the leaves of some of my trees. I am new at this. Does anyone have any ideas what this could be? They are fairly large spots. Haven't been able to check out all the trees, but I noticed it this morning on trees near the street.

    Help?

    Thanks,

    Ned

    It is called "Tar Spots". Go to google and there is all kinds of info.

    Thanks for the quick replys. I looked on the web and it just says to mulch the leaves. I'll do that and keep them away from the trees. Anything else I should do to keep it from coming back?
