  • Please clarify your specific problem or provide additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it's hard to tell exactly what you're asking. – Community Jul 23 '22 at 19:14
  • Tell us more details: Is this branch all dead or do you e.g. observe black spots on the leaves? Like this: https://www.treeserviceslittlerock.net/black-spots-maple-leaves/ – Gyrfalcon Jul 23 '22 at 19:28

    What part of the world are you in? Can you add another photo from slightly further away so its possible to see more of the tree? Lastly, have you ever noticed any fungal growth such as toadstools/mushrooms/bracket fungus nearby on the ground, at the base of the tree, or on the tree anywhere? – Bamboo Jul 24 '22 at 12:58
  • That bark has been dead for awhile. Could have been insects or disease. Looks pretty bad for the tree depending on how much bark is in this condition. – blacksmith37 Jul 24 '22 at 15:45
