[quote mattkime]I don't think its bacterial leaf scorch as the pattern of leaf decay is different.
it could just be under watering - although i thought i was watering pretty thoroughly.
this winter the tree is going to get some heavy trimming to maintain the central trunk. perhaps a better root-branch ratio will help prevent this next year.
