Expert Response

This looks like a burning bush that is likely suffering from scorch, a physiological symptom of stress in a plant. 
Scorch can be caused by heat, water (too much, or too little), salts from soil or water, overfertilization, or other stressors. 
See our fact sheet for more information:

Make sure it is getting sufficient water, let it dry a bit between irrigation sessions, try watering in winter, and check how frequently you fertilize. 

Let me know if you have any additional questions.
