This fungus takes birth in the soil and gains access into the tree through wounds in the root. Once the fungus enters the xylem, which contains cells that allows water to flow in the tree, it infects the branches, and eventually, spreads to the leaves. It's also possible that it is not a problem at all—leaf drop is a normal condition of growth for many plants, in which lower leaves die and fall off gradually as part of the life cycle.
