Hello all,

I have a 60-year-old Norway Maple in front of my house. It was planted
by and is still owned by the City of Toronto. For the first time I
have noticed large yellow blotches on almost all the leaves. Is this
indicative of a disease?

The only thing different about this summer is that it has been wetter
and cooler than usual.

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

In NY area yellow spots appearing in Norway maple trees are a common site in
the urban forest. These are usually associated with a tar-spot (fungal)
disease that is merely cosmetic.
