Expert Response
It is difficult for me to determine the cause of the problem with your redbud leaves from the photos. Are only the leaves affected? How much of the tree is showing the signs you are concerned about? Have you seen any insects? What variety of redbud is it?
Eastern redbuds have relatively few pests. Stem canker, leaf spots and verticillium wilt may be a problem. The plants may experience some insect damage from leaf rollers, treehoppers, scales, leafhoppers, aphids and spider mites.
To get a diagnosis of the problem from a professional, you may wish to contact an ISA Certified arborist. To locate one in your area go to:

I wish you success in determining the issue with your redbud and that it is something that can be managed.
