I have searched through hundreds of pics and have yet to find this. The color on the surface of the leaf is bright red, irregular in shape, with out any ring or anything fuzzy or spotty in the middle . It bleeds through to the underside where it looks less red.
My bet is that it is a fungus- so I picked off as many affected leaves as I could and applied a fungicide.
My other thought is it could be a result of too much nitrogen as I had reseeded the area before planting and applied quite a bit of grass fertilizer.
Still, I wish I knew for sure and could do the right thing to curb it as it is a lovely little tree...
