Leaves are falling off my tulip tree?

this tree bloomed beautiful in the spring. all of a sudden the leaves are turning brown and falling off, like in the autumn. they are not eaten by bugs, and my other plants and trees are doing fine. is it diseased and can i save it?

Fungal leaf spots can become severe enough to cause premature leaf drop in summer. When the disease reaches this stage fungicides are useless (they are a preventative). Rake up and dispose of the infected leaves (burn, bury 6" below ground or dispose). Infected leaves will be yellow spotted.





Hot, dry weather can cause interior leaves to yellow, develop angular brown spots %26amp; drop early. This is a weather induced environmental stress and not a disease. Young trees are more susceptible, but mature trees can do this as well.
Reply:You have not given any information to go on, eg where you live or the season. If it is extremely dry at the moment where you live it may be the reason for it dropping its leaves so early. Sorry but because of lack of info cannot give any other reason.
