Garnet Japanese Maple Dry Leaves

10 years ago

I bought a Japanese Maple Tee Garnet about a month ago. It's about 5 feet tall and 4 feet wide. Last week I finally got time to put in nice pot. Unfortunately last two days have been hot about 90degree at one point. Now all leaves are dry out. I'm thinking the plant in shock because of repot and with the hot and dry weather are all part of this. At this point I'm thinking about de-leafing all the dry ones. Anybody have any suggestion on how to rescue my plant?

If you can move it, put it in shade until it adjusts.

If you can't move it, rig temporary shade for as long as is needed.

Check the moisture content of the rootball.
If rootbound, or nearly so, when repotted, any applied water is going through the new potting mix rather than the congested rootball. If dry,drizzle water directly on the rootball to moisten it.

If the dry leaves are clinging tightly, the tree's outlook is poor.
