    I have noticed in the past couple of years that a good number of
    Horse Chestnut trees seem to be suffering. Their leaves are drying up and falling -seemingly from the inside to the outside. I first observed this when we had such a long dry spell a couple of summers ago. Even with this cool wet spring, these trees seem to be still having problems. Any idea what is wrong with them? And any ideas how we can help them?
