What would you do?
We have two Acer Palmatum Dissectums, one red the other a variegated green/ white - the latest one.
Dissectums are tough and can cope with cold and heat too, plus wind as the leaf shape is perfect for this country.
Our red Palmatum Dissectum is now ten years old and 20" high - it's beautiful.
The little 'un is fine and coping with our particular Northern aspect quite well.
By the way, I give ours an acid feed or an ericaceous top-dressing a few times a year - they seem to like that. stevmk2
