Is this tree dying?

That looks like a Silver Maple variant to me. They are fast growing and pretty hardy...until they get hit by high winds. It looks fine to me from the pics.

That’s a maple. They have a diffuse xylem system. You almost literally cannot drown them. It looks like the leaves are just curling a bit from the heat and sun. Look at it when it’s dark and the leaves will look 100% normal.

Damn, that's unfortunate. My neighbor has a maple tree in the front yard, right on the property line, that is a pain in my posterior.

Silver maple....shift from cool wet weather to hot windy weather. Unfortunately it will live. Scum of the tree world. I would cut it down and plant something else. Seriously.

While/when the leaves are green, it'll probably survive (whatever it is).

Assuming it hasn't been felled (cut down) yet...

Eastern red cedar is much more of a bastard.

Negative on this. Bradford Pear for the win by a mile as Scum Tree of the Earth.

My mom and Dad have a couple of somber maples. They have had some
Limbs die but nothing major. I sure love these trees. Very pretty. But I hate the roots hey create.

Our maples were planted by the previous owners in 2003, they've handled drought and constant wind here. They're about 20' apart, and the north one is quite a bit bigger than the south one, due to the south one blocking the wind for the north one.

Silver maple trees biggest problem is when they are near foundation, concrete, etc. The tree is well known for shallow roots (even above ground) which can cause lots of problems.
