My magnolia tree leaves are turning a light brown? Is this normal?

It just started changing. The leaves are not dried out just changing. Can anyone help?

My magnolia tree leaves are turning a light brown? Is this normal?
Do you know what kind of a magnolia tree it is? If not, even a good description will help. If it is a deciduous magnolia, its probably just fine even though it's very odd that it has waited until now to drop it's leaves (can happen in a very mild winter scenario though). However if it is an evergreen magnolia, it could have a case of ice or cold damage, especially if you had a warm spell recently followed by below freezing weather. Typically that is not too harmful to the tree and it can usually recover from that. But, if that is not the problem, it is likely something systemic (developing at the root level) that could be a big problem. A picture can help identify the first problem, but it would take a pretty in depth description of the tree and surroundings to figure a different issue. Hopefully yours is a deciduous variety and problem is solved!
Reply:it might be weather related i.e. cold or frost damage.
