Willow tree's leaves have turned yellow
Hello
Would anyone be able to offer any clues please as to why our Scarlet Willow tree's leaves have turned yellow over the past few days, and what we might do to look after the tree? We planted a mixture of trees eighteen months ago to form a screen between our fence and the building behind. This is the only tree of three willows to turn yellow, the others, and the other species, are still green.
Any help gratefully received, thank you.

Willow needs lots of water though, so it's most likely that it's on the dry side, and is shedding foliage to save the rest of it's leaves. It also could be more exposed than the others.
Difficult without seeing it properly though.
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
