Been tracking this fungal issue across the NorthEast US. Very little in the news or on arborist sites.
Some chatter on social media "why are our trees dying", "sick tree", etc.
Seems to be an airborne vector (can see new infection and leaf issues after rain).
Appears to be a co-infection (think of it like Lyme in a human, causing the Bartonella to manifest, etc., or Cedar Rust in case of a crab-apple.)
It's everywhere ONCE you know WHAT to look for (signs, such as downward curved petioles, leaf yellow with specific patterns, etc.).
Suspect some sort of biowarfare that got out of control or something, it's bad.
