problem with my burning bush

Question

I transplanted a burning bush 3 years ago and I didn’t cut it back. I’m curious about the leaves, especially on the upper bush. They are not green but brown or rust colored. I know they shouldn’t turn until fall to red. I tried a bit of Miracid but no go. Thanks for your help. Bob

It's most likely a fungus called rust. This article will help you:
