The Japanese Red Maples are Getting Scorched

Posted on by

I noticed brown spots on all the red maple leaves. I’m pretty sure they are getting too much hot sun in the afternoon as temperatures are beginning to rise. They were on the bonsai tables on the South end of the yard. It gets a good 9-10 hours of constant sun there this time of year. That’s probably too much for them.

I moved them under my orange tree where they will get filtered light for now. I plan to build another pallet bonsai table and put that on the East side of the yard. It still gets good sun there, but not for as long. Once that is done, I’ll put my Maples there.
