Talkback: Plants - planting an acer in a pot

Hi

Could you tell me about the after-care for these acers, specifically how to manage a tree that has reached the pot boundaries, but I do not wish to increase the size of the pot it sits in. I have heard that during the acer's dormant period, I can lift the tree and cut back it's roots, is this true?

Thanks

Harry

    I have an acer in a pot, it is about 3-4ft high, would it be possible to transfer it back into the soil and if so when would be the best time. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Please can someone tell me when to prune dead branches from an Acer Palmatum. It is quite a large tree but keeps dying back on one side. I really need to remove them now to enjoy the tree over the spring and summer but don't want to loose it. Will it kill the tree if I carefully cut off just the dead branches now? Aceraddict.

    I have a young acer in a rockery which is south facing. new growth is vigorous but some of the top leaves are shrivelling. Would this be due to the recent April frost and cool weather we are experiencing. I live on the edge of the Peal district

    The shrivelled leaves might be due to frost, or to strong winds. As long as only a few leaves shrivel it will recover.

    Would it be alright to plant an acer, where it gets sun for half a day, but it would be when the suns at its hottest.
