sorry this might be a better one

Looking again, are the blackened leaves really green? If so, the black
is sooty mould. Is the tree infested with aphids? Aphids drop sticky
honeydew and the black mould grows on the honeydew. In that case treat
the aphids first. The leaves will soon be dropping anyway, so don't
bother too much this year but watch for aphids sooner next year.
