It sounds like the maple is a loss, if you let it sucker the proper terms are water sprouts they are actually epemoric branches, the tree will have very poor form and will never grow right at all. It may live but will never become a productive and well formed tree. of course this depends alittle on what maple you have if its a Red, Silver, Norway, Mountain., these are weak trees and are highly rot prone. It is better to remove it and plant a nice Sugar Maple or black maple not sure where you are in US. if you let them go they will "sucker" Second those "suckers" will easliy break off during a wind storm or ice storm. The better thing would be to remove the tree and plant a new one in its spot. As for the Black Walnut it defsounds like you have a fungus, the biggest problem would be nectria canker this could kill the tree or in the best case it will permently kill the tree. I would recomend this site for tree info. http://www.na.fs.fed.us/pubs/silvics_manual/volume_2/vol2_Table_of_contents.htm Ask a nursury or a forester to what is the best treatment. I used this site all through college went I went for forestry. Very helpful and they will tell you wayyy more than youll ever need to know! Andrew
