Sorry can't help. But, off topic, it might be worth telling the
gardenbanter owners that their punctuation stripping process isn't
working at 100%. Somehow, a question mark has sneaked through

Bottom left looks to me like scorch where the sun has burned the leaf
through drops of water.

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.

Sounds a bit like the Honey Fungus I had on an Apricot tree but I hope not
for your sake. I'd need to see a photo to make sure but probably best if you
search for photos on the internet.
