Hello! I planted this lad over the winter, so this is my first spring with him. He has continued to produce many small red leaves, but almost all of them end up damaged in some way. Some are dry and crispy, some with browning, many with holes in them. I’m not sure if this is multiple problems or all the same thing, hoping to get some advice for a new tree-owner. I’m in 7b, area is partial shade, surrounding fence and mature trees help to block some afternoon Sun. The kousa dogwood I planted next to him is flourishing but does have a few leaves with holes in them. Any thoughts??
