I am trying to identify an issue with one of our yellow buckeye trees. It is two years old, started from seed, and this is the first time its had this color formation on the leaves. I was thinking viral since it follows the veins, but cannot find any images that look similar to this to ID the issue. It doesn't seem to be insect damage and is not spotty like leaf blotch. I also don't think the issues is heat/moisture because it is not uniform around the edges and not the same amount of damage on new and old leaves. Could you help me ID the issue and suggest a solution? Thanks!
