I have a horsechestnut tree which my son grew from a conker, roughly about 19 yrs ago, It does everything right, but after the leaves come out in the spring they go all skeletal, we have had about 3 conkers off the tree. I think it could be lack of water, any ideas.

There is a disease of Conker trees going about which does affect the leaves badly and the vigor of the tree too. I suggest you click on Google images and type in Chestnut leaf blotch disease and compare and look at how to treat, if it is LB.

Sounds more like caterpillar or insect attack .
