“The problem is Sycamore Anthracnose. They aren’t dying, just diseased. It is rarely fatal, but several consecutive years of defoliation can weaken the trees enough that they enter a downward spiral of decline, or succumb to more aggressive (and fatal) pest and disease issues. There is a preventative injection treatment that can be applied in the fall to reduce the symptoms next season.“
I hope these trees are getting the care they need. These are grand trees, and we don’t want to lose them. – Marlene Berlin

Is there an agency that can be contacted to report a sick sycamore so and injection could be given in the fall?
