Expert Response
We can't determine what's causing the plant's decline by viewing the photos.
Based upon what we can see, there is no obvious evidence of disease or pest damage on the branches or leaves.
However, the decline might be related to disease or other factors affecting the health of the crown or roots.
Under the circumstances it's probably best to ask a certified arborist or other tree care professional to assess the tree's health onsite and recommend a course of action.
