Anyone with experience of maple in climate similar to Sydney? Their leaves seems very easily burn. The common green Jap maple and trident maple are better.
Thanks

Hi Bonbon,
I have Otome zakura and Beni maiko Japanese maple and have same problem as yours. My area is very hot and dry in the summer and water is too alkaline. Those are enemies of maple.
I place mine in the site which gets morning sun only and use Protek solution (silicon) to support them but still ... This year, I planted my Beni maiko into the ground to see if it's better.
I didn't remove burnt leaves since they will fall off themselve in the fall. Bonhe
