This is my first attempt at raising jap maples. These are bloodgood variety. I bought them bare root and arrived dorment. They have been potted for nearly 2 months now. Yesterday was the hottest day thus far(mid 90's) this year, and the leaves look really bad on a few my trees today. I had them getting around 4-5 hrs of full sun. I'm guessing that is my problem but not sure. Could it possibly be a wet feet problem? They are definately more moist in the bottom of pots. I moved them this morning to a more shaded area. They were watered well yesterday morning before I left. Any advice appreciated. Here is a pic of one of the worse ones.
