Acer die back
I have a very good Acer palmatun disectum which is around 8 years of
age, and it has had one stem die back this spring and a second now looks as if it is going the same way, its in a 15inch pot, good drainage. David Hill Abacus Nurseries |

I had a rather nice old one die during a hot summer when I forgot to water it, and it was planted in the ground. -- Regards Bob Hobden |

No reason A. palmatum planted in ground will need to be watered in our climate, unless it is planted in sand... It may have been something else as done it in. Dave, when was yours last repotted? Is it possibly rootbound? Did it get hurt in a late spring frost? Some dieback in winter and spring is normal with these plants. Dieback in summer, with blackening branches, can be a sign of verticillium wilt. Cut off a dead stem, and cut through it at a small angle. Look for characteristic discoloration (gray or brown streaking) underneath the cambium. If you post a pic of it somewhere, that might help identification of the problem. -E |
