Only fools rush in. Be careful with your diagnoses! Check the underside of the leaf - the black tar spot is embedded in the leaf tissue and therefore visible on both surfaces of the leaf.
Tar spot management starts with proper ID. These are not tar spot.
Inputs should always result in returns. After all we’re in this game to win, right?
