in z3 ... can you rule out frost or freeze at leaf out time ..

yes.. it could have hit one tree only ..

not great pix .. besides sideways.. i cant tell new growth from old ... if only older leaves ... its possible ...

perfect lawn ... who does fert/weed control ... could one have been hit by drift???

Sorry! Didn't realize how crappy my photos were. All blurry and sideways yeesh

There was an abnormally warm winter and everything is ahead here by a Month so the trees did leaf out early and were hit by a couple freezes. Yet the fuller tree was out more than this one but maybe like you said it decided to affect this one. And there's no snow drifts ever in that spot. The most snow we got this year was maybe a foot and it didn't hang around long. Some of the new growth shows the exact same symptoms, but other spots seem normal.

Thankyou! My family does all the yard work. Usually me however! We've been lucky this year as far as weeds go. Nothing popping up except my neighbours columnar aspen seeslings

Here's some better ones

undersides of leaves are free of insects I presume? First photo of your second batch looks like the healthy tree... is that correct?

Other images could certainly be herbicide damage where product seeped into the roots that carried it up into the leaves, or you may have aphids or some other pest.

One more question: are the leaves of the affected tree all drooping?

===>>> frost can be really weird ... and is highly affected by air movement ... when a light frost ...

so the one out in the open may have had more air movement ... so less damage.. as compared to the one under a tree with dead air ...

who knows ... just dont spray if you cant find a problem ... the vagaries of ma nature.. just means some years ... you dont have the level of perfection you wish ...

There are no insects under the leaves and all the photos are if the problem tree. With the exception of the last one which shows both.

Not all the leaves are drooping, the new growth seems fine

Freezes huh? Oh well I guess that makes sense as it's more in the open. As long as if it does affect the long term health of the tree I'm good.

I wouldn't be spraying it anyways due to the nest.

Thanks

boy those new pix are so much better ..

crikey.. if my plain old Ls looked that good .. i would be doing a happy dance ..

since you rule out bugs... just ignore the darn things.. lol ..

dont love them to death ...
