Della: two young Japanese maples planted 2 weeks ago. One thriving, other wilted/dried leaves. Peat moss/topsoil mix. Morning shade until noon, then direct sun. 15-20 ft apart. Daily watering. Asks: move? Miracle-Gro? Save gift tree?
Kathy: Japanese maples LOVE SHADE. Plant in early morning sun only, then shade/understory. May have been in more shade at nursery. Miracle-Gro = salt/chlorine burns plants (check "Miracle-Gro problems" online).
Afternoon sun is fatal for Japanese maples. The wilted tree is sun-scorched. Immediate relocation to shade essential. Fertilizer warning prevents additional chemical stress.
