Hi folks, I have a branch that has fallen off in today's winds, however on inspection there are lots of black dots which I have googled...
...Tar spot is a leaf spot disease caused by the fungus Rhytisma acerinum. It is seen most commonly on sycamore, but can also affect a number of other acer species. The spots are unsightly, and the disease can cause slightly premature leaf fall. It has no long-term effect on the vigour of affected trees, however.
Can I still give to goats or not?
