    Hello ...I`m having a problem with my Filigree....it`s burnt...It`s a 2 year old in a container. The soil is firn bark potting soil (no ferts added) peat...When i recieved the maple i transplanted it and put in in a SUNNY spotfor 3 days not knowing the filigree dosn`t like full sun...Its not in the sun no more.7 weeks later i have new growth and that burnt up. All i give it is superthrive when i water it....it`s bin a very hot summer here in Pa.

    I wanted to give you a reply. I have Filigree and as you know it
    is very hot sun sensitive. Your young plant looks healthy but has
    leaf burn which seems unsightly and seems to worry you. I would
    put your plant in filtered morning sun, stop superthrive for a while
    and above all be patient, patient, patient. If the sight of the crisped
    leaves really bothers you, remove some of them but leave enough for
    photosynthesis. Your plant will grow new leaves and I believe you will
    be happy.

    Hi,
    My advice is not to water the leaves and also keep the soil as cool as possible by either putting the plant in a bigger pot with lots of mulch or planting it out.
    regards
