Whether you grow a deep crimson 'Bloodgood' specimen or perhaps you have an acid-green 'Emerald Lace' in the yard, there's nothing quite like the vivid canopies of healthy Japanese maple trees.
As a professional gardener, I have grown them in a variety of settings, including in pots on a shady courtyard in Wales, as well as narrow, part-shade gardens in London, where the afternoon sun was filtered just enough to keep them happy. And, if there is one thing I have learned along the way, it is that when these trees are unhappy, for whatever reason, once healthy leaves begin to turn brown, otherwise known as leaf scorch.
