Maple Tree Question? Not sure on the exact type of Maple Tree, as it was...
Not sure on the exact type of Maple Tree, as it was planted by the homeowners association two years ago. Last year was hugely dry, so the tree didn't grow well (small leaves that fell off impulsive in the fall). This year, the tree didn't grow too much again, but the leaves were a bright green from spring through impulsive summer. Now, at mid-summer, the leaves have all turned a red / burgandy color. Is this nomal for a dependable type of Maple Tree? If so, what kind might it be? The leaves are not drying up, and the irrigation runs every night for 15 minutes, so within is no lack of water. Just trying to digit out what kind of tree it is. Thanks.
Answers: I have a Japanese Maple and my neighbors enjoy several normal ones. The leaves of their trees turn from green to red every year, they don't fall until they own been red for several months, so i would say i.e. normal. To help the tree grow better, marine it with a trickle from the hose for several hours, that way it can occupy.
