It is hard for me to see the overall tree if only these branches are affected or if the problem is all over the tree? I see some leaves with yellow and green veins, that condition is called chlorosis. Refer to the following fact for more information: https://planttalk.colostate.edu/topics/weeds-cultural-problems/2121-iron-chlorosis-trees/
Since I cannot see everything that is going on with the tree, we recommend contacting a certified arborist to come out and take a look.
