Disease Symptoms Pathogen/Cause Management
Leaf Spot Irregular reddish-brown spots on the upper leaf surface form while brown spots occur on the lower leaf surface. In severe cases, leaves may fall prematurely. Gnomonia caryae No control is recommended since the disease occurs late in the season and little damage results. However, raking and destroying leaves in the fall can reduce the amount of inoculum near the trees.
