black leaves on magnolia tree


Question
My magnolia tree has black leaves and black bark.  On the bark I can see what looks like bumps (similar in size to lady bugs).  Any chance of saving this tree?

Answer
Hi Barbara, Sounds like sooty mold for the black leaves and bark.  I would use Atomic Grow, which I used on mine and they are so clean and beautiful this year.  Most do not want to grow magnolias because of this problem and now we have an organic solution.  I think it will also clear up the bumps on the bark as it will bring your tree back to health.  kathy
