Wild plums aka Rainbow Plum Mix. One single tree in the middle of a row of 10 trees is having this problem. About 25% of the tree has leaves that have turned brown on the edges and are dropping. What is this problem?

I have a comice pear tree. Last year I had an abundance of fruit. This year I have picked the fruit to ripen inside but having to throw them away. I have bordeaux, can you please tell me when can I spray the tree and do I spray the whole tree or just the trunk.
I live in North Wales.
