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?September 16, 2020
Ask Burton: Q: I have Japanese maples in a very shady spot; they’ve been planted for four years and have been beautiful.
