Horse-chestnut -- Leaf Scorch - Horse Chestnut Leaf Scorch

Cause: Some trees will show symptoms of this nonparasitic problem year after year, regardless of the weather.
Symptoms: Margins of leaves brown and curl during the summer.

Trees in pots combined with high temperatures can be a problem keeping up with watering and resulting in leaf scorch.
