The Japanese maple can also be attacked by diseases from time to time. For example, what do brown tips on Japanese maple mean?
The Japanese maple comes from Asia
The Japanese maple has found its way into our gardens for several years. It is very beautiful to look at, its deep red coloring in autumn is particularly pretty and its growth is also very compact. It originally comes from Asia and is used there in typical Japanese gardens. But also more and more often in our gardens.
Very demanding: the Japanese maple
But the Japanese maple is also demanding. So you have to pay attention to a few things so that it doesn't break. He gets brown leaf tips particularly often. The exact cause could not be clearly clarified so far. However, it is suspected that a fungus is responsible here, causing the leaves to wilt and individual branches to die off. Often even the whole tree is affected.
Care for the Japanese maple properly
So that the Japanese maple does not get brown tips in the first place, you should plant the tree in a sheltered place and also make sure that it does not bulge sun is up. He does not like waterlogging at all, instead he loves humus-rich and permeable soil. Don't plant the tree too deep either, as it doesn't like that very much either.
