Product Information

It’s also a good idea to apply a coating of mulch around your trees - this keeps the weeds down, helps the ground retain moisture and adds nutrients. It’s not essential to prune your Acer tree, but if you do want to do some trimming to improve its shape or restrict its size, it’s important to do this only when the tree is dormant from November to January - if pruning is done at any other time of year when the tree is in active growth, it can bleed sap and become infected. In pots : Acer feed can be mixed with compost when repotting or worked into the surface of existing pots as an annual top-dressing. You can prevent leaf scorch by planting (or positioning your pot) in a sheltered spot out of direct sunlight where the tree will get some dappled shade. If your Acer gets too much wind or sun (especially in the afternoon) and not enough water, it can get scorched leaves - variegated varieties and those with finely cut leaves are the most vulnerable to this.

If you’ve got vine weevils you’ll see little c-shaped white grubs about 10mm long with brown heads amongst the soil and notches in the leaf margins, perhaps accompanied by the culprits - 9mm black beetles with a yellow mark on the wing cases. Tiny black, white or green aphids won’t usually do too much damage, but it’s worth checking for them regularly so they don’t get out of control. If your Acer is in the ground it won’t need feeding, but if you want to encourage more growth you can give it a sprinkle of general purpose fertiliser at the start of the growth season (March-April). That looks like a small pot for the size of the specimen and no amount of liquid feed will compensate for roots that get too warm in a small pot.If your tree is affected, you might see the leaves yellowing or suddenly wilting and the branches dying back.

Wind/sun are the main reasons for leaf damage, but so is insufficient water - especially at certain times. Check the soil regularly - if it’s drying out too quickly and you’re having to water more than twice a week, you should move it to a more shaded spot. In a pot I'd avoid any organic fertiliser as it would perform better in the ground where you have the microorganisms to break them down properly. You can then spray the affected areas with a solution of water and oil or soap ( recipes here) which will prevent the insects clinging on and suffocate any that do.
