Pam - Japanese maple
hi, Pam-
i was just remembering your posting last fall or winter about an ailing maple - i think you feared verticillium wilt. did it leaf out okay this spring? my j. maples are my favorite things in the garden (this week), so i like to hear of others NOT being sick... sam pnw z/8 |

The stress of a couple of years of extended summer drought was apparently too much (not to mention my fussing with new plantings in the root zone, of which I should have known better). The top growth was totally dead, but when I cut it down, it started to leaf out from the remains of the trunk (I hesitate to dig it out as there are VW susceptible plantings in the immediate area). Who knows what kind of deformed oddity it will turn out to be! Not to worry, though. I have acquired several more to take its place and these will be planted in containers :-)) pam - gardengal |
