I'm just a bit concerned about my camellia tree/bush that I inherited with the house I moved into. It was doing well and this spring bloomed beautifully, but around may/june it made a lot of buds, but they dropped off without blooming. I asked someone about it and they said it needed to be fed right away, which I did, but didn't solve the problem. I decided perhaps it was just done blooming. Now I just noticed it is getting a few more yellow leaves than one might like and the leaves up on top of the tree have big brown spots.

It may be just that the recent hot spell was a bit much and burned the tops. The blazing heat/sun had a not great effect on at least one of my citrus trees also which I could move into shade as it is container but the camellia is in the ground.

I have added a couple of photos, which are marginal quality as taken with my phone. I am wondering if I need to do something or if it will be okay.

Thanks,

This photo is of the tree and you can see the smattering of yellow leaves.
