Hi,

Recently a mountain ash tree in my backyard was growing and putting out leaves and flowers, when all of a sudden the leaves stopped growing. They are currently only a quarter of the usual size. The leaves are turning yellow, and then eventually brown at the edges and curlilng up. Some leaves have little brown spots on them The leaves stay on the tree and don't fall down. There isn't any visible damage to the bark and we don't see any sort of insect that could be causing the damage. It looks very sickly right now. The tree has been there for 7 years and is about 9 feet tall. We water it the same amount we have watered it before. What could be wrong?
