Donna, if its european mtn-ash (Sorbus aucuparia), this species suffers in the excessive summer heat. Did you have a hot summer in Bend OR this year?

Mountain ash (not a true ash) are susceptible to bacterial fireblight.

Mountain ash (Sorbus americana) is also susceptible to "ash anthracnose" (Gnomoniella fraxini). Around here, it drops its leaves as early as mid July in drought years.
