My dad and I are growing a pecan orchard of about 75 Pecan trees, they are still a bit young (about 3 years old, some are well over 6ft while many others like this one are just about knee level).
As I was watering them, I spotted black leaves on a few of them. I’m getting worried as they are already getting attacked by the wildlife (cages are there to deter deer).
I searched google and it only gave me Pecan Scab (zinc deficiency) but I wanted to ask y’all for another opinion. Should I be worried and start ordering replacements or is there any possible remedies I could try?
Btw the white plastic at the bottom is for protection from when I weed-eat the grass around

Make sure that white plastic is not tied tightly round the base as that will check the growth. Weeding round. Base needs controlling to stop it competing for water. Uneven watering causes stress and encourages mold virus and wilt. Snip off any dead and diseased or odd looking leaves promptly and dispose of them by burning or in trash. Do not compost them.
Too much water…
