guys whats the deal with burning leaves my hornbeam has had some leaves that look burned like on the edges and in the middle i mean the leaves dont all turned burned just a few ive read that they dont like sun that much so i moved my trees under shade where they only get a couple hours of sun each day so far no new leaves appear with these symptoms and the tree has a bunch of new shoots that look heathly also i dont think it was over fertilizing because my trident doesnt appear to have these symptom thanks guys

SOunds like you answered your own question. Things improved with less sun.

okay i have been seeing improvement

Yes. Hornbeam are understory trees. In their native habitat, the best they see is filtered sunlight though the leaves of taller trees.

I have noticed the same with my KH. However, I know there are some that have their KH in full sun. Don't quite understand why.
