It's a relief to hear that so many experienced growers can also have Japanese Maples die on them!
Just a question, how do you root-prune a tree that large?
Thanks for your reply. My wild Japanese maple seems to be stuck at the moment (it's spring now in Australia). I gave it 1/4 strength fish...
How do you know when the plant seems to want to be fertilized?
Thanks, that was quick! That's what I suspect too, and I'm glad it is a wild Japanese maple. It held up pretty well yesterday in a windy 33C...
