I have seen this in the past, and was wondering what it might be? It is also dropping some of its leaves. I heard that it could be Petiole Borers, but I am not sure. Haven't had a chance to look at the leaves and stems. The leaves have black spots on them. As much as I read about the borers there was nothing about leaves with the black spots and having the Petiole borers at the same time. Thanks for the help.
