Expert Response
Thank you for your question. We cannot diagnose plant problems without clear photos, and/or information about its placement, location and whether its structure is dead. This species is not known to have many diseases, but a blight has been identified in the Midwest: https://hyg.ipm.illinois.edu/article.php?id=85
Without photos of its leaves, this is just a "best guess". Perhaps a visit from a certified arborist would help. https://www.treesaregood.org/findanarborist/findanarborist
Good luck!
