Red Dragon Laceleaf dying

15 years ago

We moved from Atlanta to Daytona Beach and brought several plants/trees with us. Things were very crazy for a while and I did not notice that my Maple was not doing well. It got morning sun afternoon shade and daily watering from irrigation system. All the leaves have curled up and died. I moved it to all shade temporarily. I don't know if it was stress from moving, too hot, too much sun or too much water.

I hate to admit it but it is still in the same 2 gal pot it came in. It is about 2-3 feet tall. Is there any hope of saving it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Sorry to tell you this but I'm not sure your maple will survive in your new location. I'm pretty sure your in almost zone 10. Even though this maple can go to zone 9 I dont think it will be happy and keeping it healthy itself will probably be a struggle even in a zone 9.

What sort of symptoms is it having that would lead to believe it is dying? And how long has the tree been in the same pot with no root work done (to your knowledge)?

Thank you for responding. You are right; it is not going to do well here. (I did make an error when posting; it had been re-potted two years ago.) We had a landscaper here yesterday who said the same thing you did. Thank you again for your help.
