May 15, 2019A.Japanese maple leaf problems may look like trouble, but that’s about it! Typically, they don’t affect your tree’s health.
Usually leaf spot, anthracnose and powdery mildew can be cleared in a few steps.
Avoid getting water directly on tree leaves (by overhead irrigation) because fungi thrive in wet conditions.
If your tree does needs watering, water in the morning, so they have the whole day to dry.
Rake up infected leaves in the fall until the tree's bed is completely clear.
Bag 'em and send them off with your garbage collection. Don’t compost, or you risk spreading the fungus spores all over your yard.
If any branches or limbs look dead, prune those out using proper pruning cuts.
Fungicides aren't necessary for leaf problems. If you want the extra safety net, your arborist can recommend treatment.

June 15, 2019Q.Japanese Maple reverting back to its original state.
A Harp String Japanese Maple that was grafted has taken on the characteristics of one of its species that is also in the same garden. Is it noted that a grafted Japanese Maple will begin to revert back to its origins easily if a species is close by?

10 inch, 1/2 inch deep, break in the bark of the main stem. What should I do? Is the tree healthy? How much longer will it live?

June 28, 2019A.The possibilities are a superficial bark expansion crack (but it sounds like it's too deep for that). The most likely is a water deficit that allows drying of tissues, Or it could be a torsion fracture if the stem is unsupported and has twisted in wind event. Or it can be related to a nutrient deficiency, particularly Calcium, without adequate availability impairs good tissue and cell wall development and wood strength.

July 2, 2019Q.Japanese maple disease or fungus and a grape problem
My Japanese maple is having problems. The tree is over 15 years old. no problems. Last year , beautiful. Now over half of the branches are barren of leaves. The branches that have no leaves are of an orange'ish color. The branches don't snap off, but seem alittle rubbery. I've seen some examples of the problem online, but no one says what it is. The grapes come up on the vine, progressively start at one point turning brown and goes across the grape until it is completely brown then falls off.
