River Birch - spotted leaves

johnb352
13 years ago

I planted a 16' River Birch this spring. It seems to be doing ok but, the leaves have not filled in as much as I expected. Today I was looking at the tree and noticed spots on the leaves. A couple photos:

Anyone know that that is, and how to treat it?

Thanks.
