I don't know what kind of tree this is, it has some raspberry-like fuits, but they're longer...
It was fine up until about 2 weeks ago, and now most leaves are covered in spots like in the picture.
Can anyone help?

Thanks

Sounds like a mulberry tree to me and the leaves look like that. I think probably you have a good case of aphids.

You should be able to spot the webs if it's spider mites, shouldn't you?

This leaf certainly looks like Mulberry and your description of the fruits also indicates Mulberry. If it is Mulberry this is most likely leaf spot which is a fungal disease that is treatable with a fungicide. Another thing you should be aware of is that all the fallen leaves should be removed and disposed of because the fungus will winter over and haunt you the following year.

put some dawn dish washing detergent mix it with plenty of water and spray it all over the leaves that should take care of it.
