Something is eating leaves on my black cherry tree ( I think that was name of it). What can I do or will the winter kill whatever it is?

Hi Gardener,

I am unable to identify what might be eating the leaves on your tree without photos.

Please provide a close-up photo of the leaves and one on the entire tree if possible.

Thank you for providing the photos.

It appears to be cherry leaf spot. Here is a link that can provide more information for you. Pruning and sanitation (cleaning and disposing of fallen leaves) are necessary to help control this disease.
