The tips of the leaves of our Chinese/Evergreen Elm are brown and some of them are brown all the way around the edges. We have been in this house for a year and a half, so I don't know any more history than that. It looked healthy last year when we moved in but the leaves have looked like this for a while now. Could the frost from last winter have caused this damage? Or are we not watering enough/could it be salt build up?

Similarly, our Mulberry tree has browning leaves at the tips and around the edges. One half is like that, and the other half looks healthy. This is not new, I have noticed it for some time now. Could this be a frost issue as well or something else?

Thank you!
