Posts

  • I have a Acer tree in my garden that I planted a while back I coudn't find a sutable position, so I took the centre out of a Scottish Fir that had to be cut down,planted the acer into the hole and it has grown to be a beautiful tree, admired by all that see it. I would like to share a photo of it if I could
  • I have a Japanese Maple which I have nurtured. A few days ago I noticed that the leaves were curling. I have fed and watered it as always. I was wondering whether it has outgrown the pot it is in. Can it be saved by re-potting it in a larger container or is it likely to be a goner? Would appreciate any advice.
  • I too have a medium green leaf acer purchased in early spring this year. The leaves however have very slowly started to dry and curl. Have been watering regularly but not too much I don't feel, it's in 'partial shade', in a decent sized container...and still seems to be slowly drying out.

    I have been advised to trim back the dead leaves quite harshly and feed more (I give it some liquid tree and shrub feeder once a week - as advised) but it wasn't a cheap tree and so don't want to kill it off...obviously!

    Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks !
  • i went to a gardening show in march and saw these acers. straight away i thought i must have 1 of them. i planted it out in my garden and all was well until we had some real bad winds and burnt all the leaves they all fell and now i have a bald acer this was in july.will it come back next year has anybody got any advice please would be appreciated thanks
  • At present we have a selection of 3-4ft acers which are in a north facing and in a sheltered position in the ground. We are moving house mid october while they are still in leaf and will be digging them up into pots with ericaceous & john Innes 3. Our new location will be 500yds from beach (west coast north Somerset)and open to north facing golf course - any suggestions?
  • i am very worried my bottle brush shrub is coming out in flower now.It looks fab but will i have no flowers next year.?
  • hi i have an acer tree that is planted in the ground at the moment but i need to move it as its in the way where a new shed is going would it be ok to replant it now. thanx
  • three of my acers are in full bloom but one has small buds that refuse to grow bigger and bloom. It is still green under the stems, so I know it is alive. Is there any thing I can do?
  • It's heartening to hear other people have problems with acers. I love them but in spite of best efforts manage to kill them off with great speed!
    Have tried pots, in ground and at various aspects around the house without success

    the leaves on my acer are curling up and inside some of them I have found small green catapillars that have been eating the leaves, what shall I use to get rid of them?
