My Japanese Maple Is Losing Its Leaves

Question

My Japanese maple is losing its leaves and I wonder if it is dying. It’s not a year old yet. What can I do to help it? It’s not completely dead. There are some small leaves around the base of it. It is a Crimson Queen Japanese maple.

Answer 1

It may simply be in need of addtional watering. As long as the branches are still alive (green inside and pliable), the tree should regow its leaves.
