Ask Burton Q: We planted a Japanese maple two months ago and it has leafed out, but the tips of the leaves are beginning to turn pale white/tan. It’s not all that bad yet, but we tried a Japanese maple in the same spot last year and it died the same way last July. I planted it where the tag said – partial to full sun, so it’s on the west side of my home. Any idea what the issue is?March 26, 2019
