How to fertilize Hedge Maple
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Hedge Maple after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Hi all! I recently got this acer, but it's struggled since a storm hit soon after I got it, shifting colour quickly and dramatically after the storm. My neighbors insist it is simply thirsty, but I'm not sure that's the whole picture. What do you think? #JapaneseMaple

If you saw my last post, you’ll recall that I have a mystery #pest. It’s been chomping on new and older growth and is showing very little mercy. Today I sprayed some #NeemOil on my tree. Here’s to hoping it’ll help!

Anyone know what might be eating my plant? UPDATE: potential culprit added to pictures. Closest set of ids I got are #woodlandfuzzyant, #maskedhunter, and genus Trypoxylon, a species of #wasps. Any help and suggestions on how to divert the #pest (without killing it if it’s a native or beneficial species) would be greatly appreciated!! I’ve been checking for a few days not and haven’t seen any caterpillars, but I haven’t seen any bugs around it either. Thoughts? #damage #plantdamage #mapletree #michigannative #PestControl #pestID #bugID #identify
