Help with my Maple tree

jaskew · 9th July 2009, 01:45 PM

We live in Dallas, TX. We have a fairly large Maple tree that has been growing for about 15 yrs. It has always been beautiful. This year I noticed that there is black all around the trunk and near the base of the tree - almost looks like it was burned but it was not.

I noticed yesterday that many of the leaves had fallen off the tree. Today I look at it and all the leaves are now dying on the tree.

Any ideas out there what may be going on with the tree and what I need to do?

Thanks
