Unfortunately, your photos did not come through. I am unable to assess the situation. I can advise a few things to start, though.

Test your soil for pH imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, and incorrect moisture balance. If all are on track, then you might suspect infection from insect pests.

Here are several articles that will help:
