Hi all
I recently noticed my elm getting brown black patches on its leaves before they fall off.
I suspect it May be a fungus so I moved it to a drier location with more air circulation.
The tree appears to be quite healthy with a lot of vigorous growth this spring so I'm not exactly sure what caused this.
Does anyone know what the disease is or how to treat it?
I'm not sure why I can't attach photos to this post though.
Thanks

Re: Fungus on Chinese elm?
Are you allowing the soil to dry out between waterings?

Yes I have, but during the past couple of weeks, my area has experienced very wet weather which may have caused the issue

Hello JL42,
Just an FYI for posting images.
AusBonsai has a limit of 1MB per image, so we all must reduce our image's size before attaching to a thread.
A good all round file size for images is around 500KB.
A simple free app for resizing images is 'Image Resizer'. Once loaded onto your phone / computer it's as simple as right clicking on the image, select Image Resizer, then select a size minimum of 800px x 600px.
On a Windows PC i use 'Paint', either will work fine.

Hi JL
We have been getting a bit of rain alright
My soil mix is extra course but a couple of deciduous trees have shown similar sighs
Only a guessing though without seeing the leaves
