Acer Problems

[Holmbrae]

I have a new acer planted in a pot . I now notice the leaves are falling off Help!! What could be the problem

[smudge]

I don't know anyone who's been successful with growing Acers this year. Ours has now given up the ghost too.

Usually its a water problem. Nothing is simple I'm afraid, it could be over watering or under watering. Most likely underwatering, mainly because its in a pot and it dries out in a day or two in hot weather.

Acers like acid soil and don't like windy locations as well as the other advice given

[Philtaz]

As quattro says they don't like wind nor too much sun, preferring a shady spot.

As mentioned before, they hate the wind!
