When should I treat for anthracnose?
Answered for Whitestown, Boone County.
Very common here in wet springs, particularly on sycamore. One of the most over-treated problems in the trade. In Whitestown, young, planted, and legally curated rather than inherited. Whitestown's UDO Approved Plant List leans heavily on oaks and maples — white, swamp white, bur, shingle, chinkapin, Shumard, northern red and pin oak alongside red, sugar, black and Freeman maple — with sycamore and London planetree for large-scale sites, so most removals here are storm damage, construction conflict and HOA-driven work rather than failing 70-year-old giants. Ash is explicitly off the planting list for emerald ash borer and Callery pear is on the town's own Prohibited Plant List. Almost never fatal on an established tree.
Whitestown's canopy and what's at risk
Young, planted, and legally curated rather than inherited. Whitestown's UDO Approved Plant List leans heavily on oaks and maples — white, swamp white, bur, shingle, chinkapin, Shumard, northern red and pin oak alongside red, sugar, black and Freeman maple — with sycamore and London planetree for large-scale sites, so most removals here are storm damage, construction conflict and HOA-driven work rather than failing 70-year-old giants. Ash is explicitly off the planting list for emerald ash borer and Callery pear is on the town's own Prohibited Plant List.
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 Boone County
If treated at all, at bud break — but raking and binning fallen leaves does more than spraying.
