    I Live In Toronto In The East End Of The City. All Of The Maple Trees In My Vicinity Have Quarter Sizes Black Spots On The Leaves. I Would Really Appreciate If Someone Could Tell Me What Is Wrong With These Trees.many Thanks.

    We have the same problem with our maple trees in Moncton N.B.
    We just noticed the black spots on the leaves today, most of the leaves are affected
    Have you found the answer to your problem in Toronto

    Francis, could you post a photograph of the affected leaves? As Ron mentioned, it could be tar spot, which is not a threat to the health of the tree.

    Re: Maple Tree Desease *added picture

    A little late but none the less. I had this problem this past fall...and I'm close to the Toronto area. Does anyone know if it is harmful? Or what can/ should be done?
    Thank you

    I found this info on the black spots found on Maple trees.
    It is from The Plant Disease Diagnostic Clinic at Cornell University
