Answered for Greenwood, Johnson County.
Common in Indiana maples, and frequently misdiagnosed as drought stress. In Greenwood, two separate canopies in one city. The pre-1960 blocks around Old Town and near County Line Road hold Greenwood's only genuinely mature shade trees — just 9% of the housing stock predates 1960 — while the subdivisions east of I-65 are 2000s-era plantings still small enough to prune off a ladder. Ash is functionally gone: emerald ash borer has been confirmed in Indiana since April 2004 and is now in all 92 counties. A soil-borne fungus with no cure.

One branch or one side wilts while the rest looks healthy. Olive-green streaking in the sapwood under the bark.
A soil-borne fungus with no cure. Some trees wall it off and live for years; others decline over two or three seasons. Watering and feeding buys more time than any product does.
No treatment window. The decision is care versus removal.
