yellowing leaves: A sign of too little magnesium, too little iron or too much water. Can also be a sign that fall is fast approaching.

yellow with dark spots: Leaves that have turned yellowish and have black dots and smudges on them are likely infected with Black Spot but can also have Maple anthraconose. Dispose of leaves from plants infected by either of these as they can overwinter on infected materials.
