Brush Cherry Leaf Spots

BaronOsiris

I have some spots, splotches, discoloring of the leaves on my bush... er.. Brush Cherry.


About a month ago I moved my two Brush Cherry trees into the basement where I setup some fluorescent lights. Previously they were in a window sil not getting much light at all. They were mostly dormant. Since I have moved them under the lights the trees have been pushing out major growth that looks green and healthy. This is around the time I started noticing the spots and they are slowly getting worse. The tree is showing quite vigurous growth and is in otherwise great condition. I keep up with my watering (only water when they need it) and the soil is good. Out of my two trees only the one has spots. At first I thought it might have been the tree reacting to the different level of light, but now I'm not so sure.

I don't really see any other issues like bugs or anything (you might notice some chew marks on leaves, that is from earlier this summer when it was outside for a couple days). There are more leaves on the bottom of the tree with these spots and it seems concentrated to one side of the tree. However some of the upper leaves are showing the spots as well.

This is all the useful information I could think of. Anyone have any ideas? Did I leave out any other useful information?
