Unfortunately, you photo did not come through, so I will not be able to see the damage.

This sounds like a fungal/bacterial infection. Most often this is caused by too much water, or soil that just doesn't have enough time to dry out between getting some water.

You can attempt to correct with a fungicide, but if the environment doesn't cooperate, then you may lose the tree.
