Brown-tipped kousa dogwood leaves

My pink Kousa dogwood is developing brown tips and edges on its leaves, almost like burn marks. This tree is about 10 years old, is planted in full, allday sun and had a very good bloom this year. What could be causing this, and how can I combat,it? Thanks in advance.

Need photos to confirm but it could be dogwood anthracnose. Kousas are resistant but by no means immune and pink flowered forms (like Satomi) tend to be more prone than those that bloom white.

Here is a link that might be useful: UMass publication on dogwood anthracnose
