Is my acer palmatum dead?
Last year my acer palmatum, which is about a metre tall, suffered badly in the drought with all its leaves being “frazzled”. So far this year no buds are visible, though another acer of a similar size and three in pots all have small buds. My husband keeps telling me my lovely acer is dead, but l don’t want to give up on it. Might it still produce buds or is it likely to be dead?

If yours does re-grow, be sure to feed it some slow release organic fertiliser as well as regular drinks and maybe some liquid seaweed. Don't let it get thirsty this summer.
I would wait a few weeks yet.
