Withered foliage on west(ish) side of trees

I hope this isn't a ridiculously obvious question coming from someone ignorant in gardening but, I noticed in the beginning of the summer that the leaves on trees have have been withered and dead.

Your question has been answered in the other post, but i would like to say one thing, a novice gardener is just an expert in the making, by making a start you are already on the right path and you'll be hooked in no time.Also there is no such thing as a stupid question, every gardener learns something new every day and cant know everything now. so if your like me and love gardening, a little ignorance, as they say can be bliss..best of luck.
