7 ft, 6+ hrs sun. Spots on leaves. Owner sent photo.

Expert Analysis

Spots look like insect chewing (holes, transparent blotches), not disease. Take leaves to garden center for ID and spray recommendation. Rake/destroy fallen leaves in winter to reduce overwintering pests/diseases.

Follow-Up: No Flowers

Flower buds may lack cold hardiness for zone; cold prevents blooming. Good question for garden center.
