May 19, 2017Q.Broken Branches on Japanese Maple
Good afternoon. I accidentally broke a few large and nicely curved branches on my Japanese Maple (Tamukeyama I think) when I attempted to put it in the back seat of my Hyundai Sonata. The tree had (past tense, before I broke the branches) a nice shape. Do I simply get a clean pair of pruners and cut the two broken/split branches that are still hanging on the tree/ Or is it possible to tape them up and try to save them? Or None of the above. I would very much appreciate your help. Owner of a new and nice but wounded Acer Palmatum. Appreciatively, RW

May 20, 2017A.I'm sorry your Japanese Maple got injured! No guarantees, but you could try to "splice graft" the broken branches (you're lucky: it will be easier to do this since they're still on the tree!). If this seems too overwhelming, you could also prune them off, but I would only do that as a last resort.

Hello, My 12 year old Japanese Maple (miniature) has recently developed white powdery spots on its trunk. Also the leaves have come up quite sparsly this spring and they have a brown withery end to many of their tips. I would like to know what is occurring and how to treat it. I love this tree. Thank you Kathleen Gaul Dublin kathgaul@hotmail.com

I have moths in my tree. What is the solution to get rid of them?
- Answered by

June 10, 2017A.Look for defoliation of branches and leaves. If you see silk bags attached to the branches and twigs of your maple, these are usually the handiwork of bagworms. In numbers they can defoliate entire trees. The bags are covered in twigs and pieces of leaves. The worms, themselves, look like black caterpillars and usually grow to no more than 1 inch in length.

June 14, 2017A.This does appear to be spots from watering, but it also could be signs of fungus issues.
