Fewer, smaller leaves and much lighter color than the rest of the tree. This year the bark is pealing on the east side of the tree only. ( the troubled section is supported by the bark that died.) I noticed the problem first after applying Black munch that was quite wet and it rained a lot shortly there after. The section has leaves this year but not as thick as in past years. If a neighbor applied round-up to a rock area next to the tree would this cause a problem with the roots on that side of tree?

If they haven't already leafed out, I would check again to see if the twigs are still alive. At this point in the year, trees need leaves so they can send energy to the roots; if they haven't leafed out yet, they may not survive. I'm not sure I understand your question about Dutch Elm disease, but the fungal pathogen is still around and can infect American Elm trees.

The leaf shriveling could be from another frost (many Metro Denver areas were hit by a Mother's Day frost ) or the tree may not have enough reserves to maintain leaves on the tree.
