Leaf Blotch (Guinardia aesculi) is a fungus, which causes large chestnut-red or dull brown, irregular blotches to be seen on the leaves, from mid summer. These are often concentrated at the tips and margins of the leaves, and are often outlined by a conspicuous yellow band. Severely browned leaves are rolled upwards longitudinally, and whole leaves fall prematurely. For more information see http://www.colnestour.org/news07/chestnuts.html
