Weeping Mulberry Leaf Spots and Yellowing: Likely Minor, Check Roots

Small brown spots on leaves of a 3-year-old weeping mulberry are usually not serious. Yellowing on top may indicate root/soil stress.

Management

• Rake and destroy fallen leaves in winter to reduce overwintering pests.
• Ensure proper watering and fertilization.
• Consider a soil test for nutrient status.
• Avoid bark damage from mowers/trimmers.

Established trees tolerate leaf spots well; focus on root health.
