Struggling Maple
Submitted by Ryan Sterry on 11/10/2009
New homeowner reported the issue, so there is not a lot of history to go by. Bark has been sloughing off and branches dying.

Ryan:
There are variety of disease issues that could contribute to branch loss of this type. Localized infection in the branches could be an issue. In addition, more systemic stresses like root rots (including Armillaria root disease), Verticillium wilt, girdling roots, etc. could lead to branch dieback as well. I can't say too much more without seeing additional photos of the tree (I'd like to see what the trunk at the soil line looks like) and physical samples.
