Sweet Chestnut Leaves Suddenly Becomes Brownish

Question

Hello. We planted a sweet chestnut tree last fall. It adopted good, and this spring it started to grow very nicely with beautiful green leaves, until few weeks ago when leaves suddenly started to turn brownish (it doesn’t look good). We would like to save the tree, and we are grateful for any useful suggestion. Can you please help? Thank you! I already asked a question few days ago and I saw your answer, but you were not able to see pictures. For that reason, I’ll upload pictures again in different format. All the best, Dragoslav

Answer 1

This reminds me, quite a bit, of Marssonina ochroleuca. This disease is insignificant, and can be left to run its course. Proper care will be the best plan of action, from here.
