Based on this short article, I'm going to guess it's either waterlogged or not getting enough potassium. It is pretty dense soil and I haven't checked the pH recently (though I should--also have blueberries growing nearby).

I think it looks like phosphorus defficiency

Thank you, I'll look into that.
