    I live in South East Texas (on the Gulf). I have old Liquid Amber trees that are loosing whole branches, the leaves turn brown and the limb dies. We planted another one last year, one side is dying the other side has new leaves. In the last 3 years 4 trees have completely died. I don't see bugs, fungus, sap, anything they just die. Any ideas?

    The young trees appear to be Silver Maple not Liquid Amber.
    As far as I know they're not well adapted to the heat and humidity
    of the lower South especially during a drought.

    Do you know why the limbs are dying on the big one?
