Is anthracnose a problem in Indiana?
Answered for Indianapolis, Marion County.
Very common here in wet springs, particularly on sycamore. One of the most over-treated problems in the trade. In Indianapolis, in Indiana DNR's 2008 statewide i-Tree STRATUM sample inventory, silver maple was the most common street tree in Indianapolis at 14.0% of 119,036 inventoried street trees, followed by sugar maple 6.0%, hackberry 5.1%, apple 4.9% and white ash 4.9% — that ash share is a pre-EAB-collapse figure and is effectively gone since emerald ash borer was confirmed in Indiana on April 21, 2004. The big silver maples over the 1920s-50s streets are the recurring job: included bark, codominant leaders and brittle wood that sheds limbs in every wind event. Almost never fatal on an established tree.

What to look for
Brown blotches along leaf veins, early leaf drop, sometimes twig dieback. Worst after a cool wet spring.
Whether the tree can be saved
Almost never fatal on an established tree. It looks alarming, the tree defoliates, and then it leafs back out. Most calls about it don't need a treatment at all.
Timing in Marion County
If treated at all, at bud break — but raking and binning fallen leaves does more than spraying.
