    I'm not sure of what kind of tree your referring to.

    Generally speaking though buds are the most sensitive part of the plant or tree.
    Stresses like watering issues, temperature fluctuations, to much fertilizer could all be reasons.

    Without know the type of tree, a clearer description or image it would be difficult to determine what may be wrong with the tree.
    You could request that the homeowner have the tree checked by an Arborist to determine it's health, prior to purchase.

    Here are some links that may help you.

    It is is certainly possible that the herbicide used could have been spilled or over sprayed onto the other trees.

    Inspect your trees for other signs of pest or disease. Do the leaves have holes, spots or discolorations?
    Is the tree trunk oozing or show signs of a canker?

    The yellowing of leaves can indicate watering issues; either too much or too little.
    How has your weather been? Rainfall heavy or drought conditions?

    Also you will need to examine the tree more closely. Yellowing of plant material can be signs of pests or disease. Examine the trunks, branches and leaves.

    I can't make any determination from just this image.
    You can take a leaf sample to your local County Extension Office for examination.
    They also will have information on the weather effects on trees in your area.

    Here is a link to help you locate your nearest office.

    The trees have been treated within the last year and are doing well. The root of the question (no pun intended) is: Will cutting off dead limbs attract more Emerald Ash Borers because of the new cuts? I don't want to attract more to jeopardize the other neighborhood trees.
