Answered for McCordsville, Hancock County.
Very common here in wet springs, particularly on sycamore. One of the most over-treated problems in the trade. In McCordsville, the canopy is almost entirely developer plantings on former corn and soybean ground, young enough that overall cover is thin compared with older Indianapolis suburbs; the genuinely large trees are leftovers — fencerow and creek-bottom hardwoods along Fall Creek and toward Geist, plus the yard trees around the 1865 village core. McCordsville was not in the Indiana DNR street tree sample and has no published inventory; note that Callery pear, heavily used in subdivisions of this vintage, was still legal to sell in Indiana as of 2026 despite a pending proposal to ban it. Almost never fatal on an established tree.

Brown blotches along leaf veins, early leaf drop, sometimes twig dieback. Worst after a cool wet spring.
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.
If treated at all, at bud break — but raking and binning fallen leaves does more than spraying.
