Leaves on the subject shown have herbicide damage.

 My thinking is that a poison is affecting the growth and the chlorophyll in the leaves.

Looks like a new fence, has there been much development/land disturbance near the tree?

 

The green fence has been there for years and nothing else has happened there for probably a couple of decades before that. The death was sudden also, no slow decline that I would have expected if it was relatively minor ground disturbance. So, poison it is. Thanks for the input everyone!

Any drill holes ?

No, no drill holes. Then again, you wouldn't need to with a wound that size!
