Sun scald #871156

Asked June 02, 2024, 1:52 PM EDT

My maple tree was diagnosed with sun scald and I was hoping to save it, at least for a little while longer. Now, all of the new leaves have dried up. I’m assuming this means the tree cannot be helped but I want confirmation.

Good morning!

I am sorry to hear about your maple - can you send me some photos of the plant to confirm? The sunscald spot, drying leaves and entire tree!

Thank you!
