Can anyone tell me why my Acer leaves look as if they're gasping for water? I have one in a pot, the other is in the garden.


On plant Acer

has it been breezy? the young foliage loses water faster than when they are older/thicker and tougher.

if they are both showing the limp look that's what I'd suspect.

It's been breezy, but not excessively, and one is in a very sheltered spot. They're both new trees last year, so still very young. I have another Acer, different variety and that's in the same area and doing fine :(
