Orange spots on my newly planted Early Glow Ohio Buckeye trees #796266

Asked June 16, 2022, 11:25 AM EDT

We are landscaping and I recently purchased and planted 2 Early Glow Ohio Buckeye trees that have / are developing orange blotches on the leaves ( I've included photos) and I'm concerned there may be a fungal issue. Please review the photos and let me know your thoughts and corrective action if needed

Thank you for writing. 
That appears to be leaf spot, a common disease on Ohio Buckeye.
At the present time it is mild.   Here is some information for you.  Treating diseases on a tree is difficult,  I suggest that you have an arborist evaluate this valuable tree. https://extension.umn.edu/planting-and-growing-guides/how-hire-tree-care-professional
