Acer

Hi I'm fairly new to gardening and planted an Acer a year or so ago. Although there's been some growth, I've noticed the leaves look a bit withered. Any tips on helping it flourish? Thanks

    Hot drying winds and a probable shortage of water !

    Most Acers prefer dappled shade out of strong winds , and plenty of moisture in a neutral to slightly acidic soil .
