Hong Kong Orchid Tree Leaves Brown Edges And Some The Entire Leaf Is Brown And Partly Lace Looking

Question

What could it be? I’ve removed a couple of cross over branches because the tree is only a year old. The area can be quite windy and some day have been very chilly. Live close to the beach tree is in back yard. It has a beautiful flower just this week hopeful more to come. Thanks

If this damage was noticed after your pruning, and the shears were not cleaned before trimming, then it is likely that the pruning has brought about an infection.
