Plant of The Week: Japanese Maples
Ask Burton: Q: I have a Japanese maple tree that I planted in my yard this spring, and the beautiful maroon leaves have turned greenish. Why is this happening? Do I have the wrong type of Japanese maple?
Ask Burton: Q- I have an established Japanese maple which had its edges burned by the summer heat this year; also, several newly planted shrubs that also had small amounts of damage from drying out as well. I watered twice a week all summer; do I need to increase my watering now?
Ask Burton: This week, a simple, easy answer to a number of minor landscape issues. Q: My established Crape Myrtles are showing damaged leaves (brown around the edges), my Redbud leaves are showing many small, blackish flecks, and my Japanese maples really took a hammering this summer, with many burned looking leaves. What should I do to help these plants?

Japanese Maples for Dramatic Impact
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?

Ask Burton: Q: I have Japanese maples in a very shady spot; they’ve been planted for four years and have been beautiful. They’re showing a lot of burning around the leaves this year, and these plants are not new. We made sure to water everything carefully. Any idea why this is happening?
