Dried out Acer
I have a fairly large japanese Acer which is in a large pot on my
patio. Its about 5 foot in height. Unfortunately I've neglected to water it enough in this hot weather and the leaves have partially shrivelled up. Not all of them, but around 80%. The larger leaves nearer the top seem least affected. All the leaves on the branches up to two thirds up seems to be all affected. I've never shaped the tree since it was first bought. It had doubled in height and seemed to be doing very nicely. I've given the plant lots of water now. But should I do anything else? Should I prune any dead leaves away or just let them drop of naturally? Is this an opportunity to prune the tree into a more traditional shape. Its currently rather tall and narrow for an acer. I'd quite like it to be more short and rounded like the expensive ones! Any advice and assistance would be appreciated. Si |
