I was just called out by a elderly home owner conscerned about her big locust tree in the front yard. For some reason the trees leaves are already all brown. A few of the other locust trees in the neighboring yards are starting to get big brown areas in them as well. She also told me that it has stopped getting its long fruit pods for about the last 4-5 years now. The tree is heavily sprouting around the trunk but not on the upper portions of the tree. And I did notice one small mushroom starting to come out of the bottom of the trunk. It looked like it just started to come through. She wants to know if the tree is sick or anything. I haven't heard or seen any locust trees like this before. Does anyone know of a disease or anything or what it could be. She wants to know if it can be cured or if it should be removed. I am almost thinking removal with the small mushroom coming through and the heavy sprouting on the lower section. Any opinions or knowledge is very much appreaciated.
Thanks in advance.
