Is this possible with your tree?

One other factor that can affect blemishing of the leaves on Princeton Gold Maples is poor air movement in the area where the tree is growing which allows the leaves to stay wet much longer from morning dew and rainfall. Chronically wet leaves can easily lead to some leaf blemishes.

This year it bloomed as usual, BUT then the leaves turned "green". Would you have any suggestions or remedies, my wife is VERY disappointed. May I request an early respone.

Great color. However I notice that in mid to late summer the leaves always turn brown, curl up and fall off. It gets very, very sparse at the top. I've noticed others in the neighborhood do the same. Do you know the cause of this? I have one of these and it’s lovely for sure. Great color. However I notice that in mid to late summer the leaves always turn brown, curl up and fall off.
