Message: Acers are rarely affected by disease. It may be growing conditions like wind, watering or low temperatures.

Message: I have a acer palmatum osakazuki that appears to be dying from the top down. The main trunk has turned white and it is travelling down towards the roots. It is only about 2 years and is planted in a very large pot with plenty of room for the roots. I cannot see any signs of obvious insect attack but if it is from within I wouldn't see it anyway. Hope you can help.

Message: Hello Chris
Some good advice on the top of the page "Re-pot Japanese Maple". I suggest that you use a bigger pot to reflect the growth of the plant.

Message: My condolences.
There are many varieties that remain green until autumn is well advanced. They do not normally suffer from disease unless stressed. Red leaved varieties do need more sun, yours may be in a shady place. Wait and see what happens.

Message: Jap maple seedling problem!!!!
I bought jap maple seeds of various varieties that I stratified in the spring for use in my landscape business. First batch of 300 did not germinate as I have read they can take up to years to germintate after stratification. So I put them in a pot outside in seed starting medium thinking another round of stratification this winter would do the trick. Over the last month these guys are germinating and I have about 100 under lights in my garage and more sprouting every week. Can I grow them over the winter with the right temp, humity and lighting in my garage? Or can I put them outside in a cold frame they are only about 3" tall. Please help!

Message: I have 3 japanese maples. The dissectum purpurea always starts wonderfully but about July the leaves start go dry. The green palmatum has always been o.k. but this year all the leaves have shrivelled. the bloodgood is not marvellous but has held on. I have watered regularly - could it be the soil? The position is ok but my soil is light. They were fine in clay soil.

Message: I bought a Japanese Red Maple tree in February. I planted it in a large pot, recently the leaves have all curled up and look dried out. I have taken great care of it watering it frequently, but no too much. What is wrong with it?

Message: My red Japanese Maple sits in the sun in 90 degree weather. Overnight the leaves shriveled up after looking healthy. The tree is two years old and well watered. I sprayed it with antifungal and insect spray. Is there any thing else that I can do?
