Hello all,
I am brand new here and believe my tree has a disease...
I have inherited the tree when i bought the house last year... i don't
know what type of tree it is, it now has black spots all over the bark
and undersides of all the branches (attached pic's) the leaves look as
though they are deteriorating around the edges and the tree is loosing
leaves... I am in the north east UK.
Can anyone tell me what type of tree this is, if this is a disease
what type, and is there a cure...?
Any help/advice would be very much appreciated...
Thanks
legepe

Looks like a bad case of scale insect to me, there are various cures. Check
goggle images for a match.
