Shown here is new growth tips on my quince in the first photo. In the second is what the tip will become in 2-3 days.
This is also my experience with quince. If they get dry out too much then the tip will die.I suspect the die back is related to water and heat. At some point the quince got dry? The young shoot gets droopy and when hot and dry enough, the young shoot dies.
Judy, please expound.That hornbeam looks like it has deficiency issues.
You may be referring to the Beech and not the Hornbeam. But, thank you for the deficiency guide. I've updated my profile too. I'm in 5b zone.They look very light green/yellow in the photo, as well as having the brown spotting issue. Someone recently posted this chart, so I'll repost it here. You should update your location into your profile, so we can give you advice based on your climate.

Interesting. I have noticed that mine seem to struggle the year after repot. The next year they gain back some vigour. I have yet to do a second repotting on my 3 so i am not sure how long i will go. Right now i am at 3 years for one of them and its as healthy as its ever been for me. I am no quince expert by any means. Just sharing my resultsWhen exactly did you repot? Japanese quince, in my climate, don't like to go more than one season without repotting. They present similar this with weak growth and difficulty getting enough water. It could also be too much sun. From my observations, quince with more round leaves can take more sun than those with narrow leaves, and yours are pretty narrow. Try limiting to only morning sun.
It was caused by drying out at some stage. The quince that is. Nothing to do with fungus. The beech will have severe root issues caused by too much, not enough water or too much fertilizer. Either way the root tips are gone and there's nothing you can do to improve those leaves now. Certainly don't fertilize it! You have to slowly nurse it back to health. Beech hate repotting particularly when they have a meagre root system (the first ten years) Too big a pot will have a negative influence on them.Shown here is new growth tips on my quince in the first photo.

I repotted in May 2016. This plant has been repotted every 3 years. I have moved plant to receive only morning sun.When exactly did you repot?

I lost mine one month ago for this reason... Symptoms similar to the OPI suspect the die back is related to water and heat. At some point the quince got dry? The young shoot gets droopy and when hot and dry enough, the young shoot dies.
