One of my maple trees planted about 18 years ago that has been doing fine, started, a couple of years ago, to thin on top with few leaves on many of the branches. In the picture showing three trees, the one on the left is very healthy, but was planted in a fertilized flower bed. The one on the right is starting to show the same symptoms on the portion of its top nearest the badly affected tree in the middle. The middle tree is paler in color than the other trees. Could it be a lack of fertilizer? Since it is affecting two trees, does that make root girdle less likely?
