Looks like it is just leaf burn. I've got some trees with it, and others without. It is a matter of how each tree reacts to the sun. (For...
I had gotten several bare-root red leaf Japanese maples and white birch recently. All the leaves were drying up when they got here - from two...
Spacehog, Full Moon maples have been a problem for me, and I've never been sure why. With Full Moon (Acer Shirasawanum) they have been delicate....
AlastairBird, It may have been bad toward the end of June, but it has been torture the last couple of days. Yesterday the ACTUAL temperature was...
I'm sure everyone is familiar with the white birch trees and how beautiful they look with the bright white bark. But what causes it to become...
Believe it or not, you're blessed. Here in the DC area the temperature hit 98, with a Temperature Humidity Index making it "feel like" 110. I was...
