These appear to be young trees. Without a closeup of the leaves I cannot rule out a pest.. However curling leaves are a sign of stress, especially lack of moisture. When low on water buckeye leaves also develop scorch.

Our recent low humidity and high temps could be the cause. Water the trees well throughout the growing season.
Thanks for the response. No pest that I can see to my knowledge. It has been dry and hot so I’m going to give it a good soaking over the next week or two.
You are welcome.
