Question
I purchased a Japanese maple; and placed it n a location in my yard that register too much sun. After two days I moved the plant to the shade. The leaves have slowly began to crinkle and fall off. Any chance for recovery as we move summer?

Answer
It sounds like the tree is going through the stress of the planting and replanting. If you have not done so mulch around the tree with not more than 3 inches deep of organic mulch not piled up on the trunk. Water every third day with 1 inch of water--place a pan under the tree and turn the sprinkler on and when the pan has 1 inch of water in it stop. water every third day fro a month then once a week.
