The new central growth looks fine. So if the leaves with brown edges are from last year, they're old and should be removed. If they're from this year, likely temporary low root function while the leaves were growing.

Jean is right - definitely root related. I have seen similar from the soil being too wet OR too dry and also from a bit too much fertilizer.
