I'm not sure what type of tree it is. The trunk of the tree is turning black and spreading up. It has spread to the other tree in our front yard that's about 10 ft. away. Does anyone have any ideas as to what's wrong with it?

There are lots of reasons why this could be happening and it depends on many variables.
The first is obviously the type of tree. I know many eucalypts turn black at the bottom of their trunks when they come in contact with underground water supplies that are high in ferrous.
If this is your problem then there is nothing you can do about it. It doesn't hurt the tree but can look a little unsightly.

Question: Where is the tree? Asin, where do you live - part of the country is helpful. Could you post a picture? Are any of the other trees around familiar to you?
There are a lot of tree-specific problems out there; I've been nursing an elm for 3 years and I'd love to help. Repost, if you can, with any other info.

It sounds like the tree is on its way to tree heaven. Get the chain saw out and put it to sleep.

Call a tree doctor in the yellow pages.

Send an urgent SOS to your local County Extension Agent. Ask him/her to come by ASAP to diagnose the problem. (There is no charge for expert identification and diagnosis from County Agents.) Write down the name of your tree, for future reference, and her/his diagnosis and recommendations, and act on them immediately!

I think someone is playing a trick on you and spray painting your trees when you are asleep. Check for taggers in your neighborhood.

Have a local arborist come out and check it, or ask at your local nursery.

Maybe it is disease. Try to contact your horticulture agent in your area. Good luck.
