Thank you for your question. In order to assist, we need to know how much water, sun and fertilizer it has gotten, whether it is in a place exposed to wind, and to have photos of the entire tree as well as the branches closeup. Thanks!
I enclose 3 pictures of our tree .
It's been in the same position for over 16 years ,water,wind and fertiliser all good so why going brown now

The following identifies two pathogens in this tree in Britain: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007%2F978-1-349-10953-1_9
Since I have no way of utilizing any diagnostic tools from the US, I suggest you contact an arborist or a horticultural lab in your area to examine the tree. There are too many limitations on our ability to assist over the Internet. Good luck!
