Treated for mites with miticide and suffocant early and late summer, mid to late summer, just started showing up last three weeks.View attachment 57234

Looks like drought stress- heat injury, possiable exhaust injury from shearing. I can't see the damaged area in the pic very well.

there my clients pi cs, not bad for a home owner. Just really odd and just no rhyme or reason. Random, could be heat stress, I always forget about the simple ones. Always looking for the hard answers.

summer was bad for everyone, Oaks, Maples, I even saw Honey suckle wilted. I just don't have an idea about the hemi's, there clean so heat stress is it. There are mature trees that are toast on the side of the road. One crazy drought. To wet to nothing.
