Thanks again Jim;

I just wandered about my property and noticed that my LARGE crab apple tree
appears to be suffering from the same "yellow leaf/black spot" symptoms.
From what I recall, this tree displays this "feature" every year. A neighbor
next door(500 feet away) has a similar crab apple with similar features.
This is the first time I've seen my Elm produce these yellow leaves with
black spots.
Any chance that a leaf from the apple fell into the Elm pot and caused this
disease ?

I just spoke with Gary at Natures Way (Jim Doyle's place) and he suggested I
remove all the effected leaves then go to the local nursery and get a
systemic fungi spray and give it a try.

Any other suggestions ??
I sure would hate to loose this tree.

Mark

I think it needs more nitrates or more magnesium. You might
want to up
its dosage of fertiliser.


NONONONONONONONONO. You don't fertilize a sick tree without
KNOWING what's wrong. Fertilizer is NOT medicine!
