I would like to know what kind of maple tree I can plant in my front yard part shade and a bit of afternoon sun.
It would have to handle winter months.
Or any other trees that would be showy and not too hard to grow
Thank you

Subject: Leaves on my maple tree
I have what I was told was a variegated maple tree when I purchased it at a local nursery. It's leaves are light green and a light yellow. It is a beautiful tree but it seems that as soon as the leaves appear, they begin to turn brown and curl up. Can you tell me what this means and what I can to do correct this problem. Thank you.

The most probable reason is hot winds and/or lack of water. It could be a very hot and windy location. Maples do not fare well under these conditions. They are under story trees in nature that are protected from the extremes of hot and cold by larger taller trees. Japanese maples witch is what I assume you have can certainly handle sun but do best in part sun part shade and in an area with some protection from harsh winds.

i bought a red maple tree last year around the end of spring to fall, planted the tree, watered it deep to the roots about everyother day for about 2 weeks, i was wondering when it will show buds, and leaves.. the branches are a red color is that a sign that the tree is still alive? It is now April when should it start to bud?? Thank you..

Red color in the tree branches is not an indicator the tree is still alive. The buds should be starting to swell soon though. This depends on the part of the country you live in. I also have 2 red maples and the buds are just now starting to swell and open. If your climate is colder it may be a while before your tree wakes up. Keep the faith, The tree should be fine.

Subject: Looking for seeds of Black Maple
Does anyone have a link to where I might find seeds of Black Maple,
I have several maple trees on my property. Last year
one did not bud/no leaves. I peeled back some loose bark to find black mold.The 30 plus tree is dead.
This year the same on a different 30 plus year old tree.
what do I need to do to save the other trees?

I think the only way it could get to that point is if the tree some how got root rot. Then it traveled up and into the trunk etc. Usually the trunk is not where this kind of problem starts, it is in the roots.
At this point you need to call in a professional tree surgeon for an evaluation of exactly what did happen. You could also call your state ag agent and ask for assistance. They may be willing to come out and diagnose your problem for you.
Can you let us know what you find out?
Thanks
