Strange color - Japanese Maple Bloodgood
We planted a Japanese Maple Bloodgood 3 years ago in the fall. It was beautiful, bright red - a real show stopper!
Since then, the tree has grown substantially, but the leaves have never been that same color in the fall. Through the summer they are a deep purple, and then they eventually just fall off.
This year we are also experiencing some sort of a bug problem as well. The bark on the trunk looks strange (grayish?) and the leaves are being eaten. How can I get this little tree back on track? Does the color of the leaves have to do with the pH of our soil? Any help is much appreciated.
