Also doing some close observation of the tree to see if you can spot any bugs on it would be helpful--many insects make similar looking holes in leaves so it makes it easier to figure out the culprit if you can get pictures of a few suspects.

But since it's a tree not a tiny little plant I doubt they'll munch enough to do permanent damage so you probably don't need to worry too much.
