Question for you tree experts

Our “hot wings” maples made it through the winter and although they were behind the native trees in leafing out they seemed to be doing fine but in the last week I noticed this

It’s not chewing marks, and it’s not making holes all the way through the leaves

I couldn’t see any type of insects anywhere on the 5 trees

I have no clue what it is or what to do

I’m going to go to the tree farm and show them my pictures but if any of you have any ideas please chime in

Thx

Tell your neighbor to stop wiping his azz on your leaves.

Those look like the striped maples in PA

lol see quite a few bears around here. They really aren’t a problem. The damn mountain lions are a problem though. Kid was killed a couple months ago. The population has grown. Stupid asses protect them. If I see one on the property here it’s dead protected or not.

I know lots of guys who won’t go in the woods without a gun, problem is you need to see and or hear them before it’s too late which isn’t easy. The dnr finally admitted that mountain lions exist in mn few years back but I’ve been seeing them over 30 years and know what I saw. Wasn’t a big lynx or bobcat

Yep very sneaky and definitely will kill you. Fish and wildlife is a joke. Just ticket writing it seems like.

It certainly wouldn’t surprise me to learn they are headed our way, there are deer spotted on this side of Prince William Sound for the first time in anyone’s memory

I doubt they could or would survive in the deep winter cold in the interior but the coastal areas would be a piece of cake

I saw a few of them over the years in Northern New Mexico and the White Mountains of Arizona back in the day

I worked for the BLM in 73 building water impoundments for desert sheep in the corner of New Mexico, Arizona, and Mexico and actually saw a jaguar, which used to be plentiful in that upper Sonoran desert before they were almost wiped out

That was pretty awesome

Was that the brothers that they tried to fight it off when it attacked and one didnt make it?

Yep exactly was about 10 minutes from here.
Did they try and take out that one afterwards? I’d imagine it would be more likely to do it a second time than the average one would. I see they did get rid of the 90 pound male mountain lion. I’ve seen pictures of the paw prints on my cousins windows before.

Of course not fish and game, but the Sheriff tracked it and killed it. Our Sheriffs are pretty good around here.

So I just spent some time on the Alaska Fish and Game website looking at mountain lion information

Sightings along the inside passage of south east Alaska are becoming more common and are generally considered as plausible sightings

There have also been reports of sightings in the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge south of me and sightings as far north as Palmer Alaska, which is where I live

They want to credit a lot of these sightings as people seeing a Lynx and thinking it’s a mountain lion but that’s hard to believe, as they look nothing alike

I guess if you hadn’t seen either before it might be possible to make that mistake but it’s pretty far fetched to me

They also said it was very likely there would be a breeding population in South East Alaska within 50 years

So this is “tar fungus” and is generally caused by too much rain

It’s cosmetic only and won’t kill the tree but it will cause early leaf dropping

There is nothing I can do now but I could have them sprayed next spring, although I have been unable to locate a true “arborist” in my area so I would have to find out what they would use and DIY it

At least I’m not freaking out about the trees dying

Thanks

Almost every year some bumbling dipshìt in WI mistakes an elk for a whitetail deer during our firearm season.
A lynx for a mountain lion is slightly less of a stretch of dumbasş. Slightly.
