Your foliage looks like it has a combination of nutritional deficiency, foliage disease (possibly anthracnose).
You may need to do soil analysis and you may need the help of an Arborist to determine the specific disease cause and treatment plan.

You may also want to contact your County Extension Office to see if they have any help for these diseases in your region.
