What Could Be Wrong With My Magnolia Tree?

Question

The leaves on a well established magnolia tree in my yard is dropping leaves. They turn yellow with spots, like a fungus on a rose bush. I know nothing about caring for trees. Can anyone help me?

Answer 1

To tell the truth, it is likely the same disease that gets on your rosebushes, which is black spot. Trees are susceptible to it as well. Treat the tree with a fungicide and it will recover fine.
