I have a Maple that is dropping some leaves. Most of the leaves are brown around the edges, as seen in the picture. Any idea as to what is causing the leaf colorization issue?

Inof - We are having a severe drought in IL. Up until 3 years ago the tree would be flooded with water. It sits at the bottom of a small hill and our sump dischrged at the top of the hill. I routed the discharge past the tree and in the far corner of the lot, due tot he sump constantly running. Don't know if this caused an issue.

Any help is appreciated.

The grass looks reasonable though. Have you been watering it? If so, what kind of pattern? 1 hour once a week? 15 minutes every three or four days?

Also, how long has the maple been in its current location?

Things are pretty tough and dry here. On the whole my grass looks worse but my trees not that bad.

We'll keep you posted.

Then, when you know for certain that you've done this, lay off for 5 or so days. Sans any meaningful rain, repeat.

The inexpensive little rotating sprinklers work marvelously for watering individual trees. But whatever you use, do make sure you're really getting the entire soil profile wet. That tree's all dried out.
