| Hello Everyone,
I recently took home this Coral Bark Japanese Maple and I just noticed a few of these brown spots showing up. Is this anything I should be concerned about? How can I get rid of them? |

| Sometimes trees that miss regular watering in pots display this in the foliage. They are dried out or dessicated parts of the leaves and will remain until the tree goes dormant and the leaves fall off. Nothing to be concerned about if it is from missed waterings. I will defer to the experts if they think it something else. John |

| Sunburn can do this as well. Can be from just an increase of sun and/or wet leaves where you get lensing concentrating the sun onto an area and burning it. Either way, it does not look like disease to me, but sun\too dry damage. Arktrees |

| Looks like a little sunburn to me. It was probably in semi crowded conditions in the nursery and is now out in the open with a different exposure. Keep it watered this summer and don't worry about it. The damage is cosmetic only. Mike |

| I'm guessing it is due to lack of watering. It's been sitting on my patio which only gets a few hours of sunlight a day. I'll continue to monitor it and hope for the best...thanks for the advice/insight! |
