    Hi, We have 5 maple trees in our back yard; Last summer, they were attacked by Japanese bettles; This spring only one tree has blossomed with 90% healthy leaves; Two are slowly showing some green leaves only on one side of the tree; two seem to be dead with dry branches and no sign of any leaf; the bark of the stems from the roots are showing some white markings ( greenish-white moss) and degradation-for all the five trees; - looks like they are sick; Kindly suggest any remedy if these nice trees could be saved.
    Thanks,
    Davendra

    What is your soil composed of??

    Only reason I am wondering is I have had similar issues with a Japanese maple in my piece of paradise :)

    Hello,
    Have you checked for new pests eg. aphids or ants?
