I bought my house last May, I do not recall this tree looking like this in July. I have not done anything to it at all, I did have landscaper come take moss out of my lawn and re-seed but it wouldnt have touched this tree. Can you tell me the name of this tree so I can investigate?

Also, what is this tree called? I need to cut it back, its getting too big.

Here are some last year pics when we moved it

That pine tree is gone finally!

This is how it looked in October 2010 when we put the offer in

I think the dead one is some sort of maple... I should have added that.

It looks like the Japanese maple may have just died from lack of water. Otherwise, as can be seen at other forums here (Japanese gardening, Maples) people are having a problem with failures of Japanese maples - due probably in most instances to pathogenic problems. Usually a partial blighting off (dying back in sections) is the cause for concern, although sometimes an entire top fails to leaf out in spring.

Looking at your Japanese maple I believe it may have just got touch of frost after the leaves had emerged.I am only saying this because in my area of Southern Ontario that is exactly how most of the J. Maples are looking this year.
