Douglas County Nevada
Expert Response
The leaves appear to be damaged by a stippling insect such as Sycamore plant bug or possibly leafhoppers. Overall the tree looks healthy and is not being negatively affected by the small amount of damage. I would suggest maintaining appropriate moisture as the temperatures increase if damage because intolerable you can look into different types of controls as long as there are insect present.
