It is spring now and it is natural for trees to shed old leafs as new growth is starting. If you think it is so unsightly that you cannot bear it then you can cut the bad looking leafs of. I would not.

The holes can be a sign of fungal infections. Do they start as dry spots in the leaves that break open?
