I use the Pro-Tek. But that's only a fertilizer booster. It is supposed to protect the cell walls and keep leaf burn to a minimum. I have seen a change since I started using it. I use it with DynaGrow. But I'm sure that Fox Farm is just fine. I've never heard of it. Mountain Maples also recommends a program of Python fungicide. It's copper based and if you haven't had problems with root rot I don't know that I would use it. That I haven't used, but I don't know the conditions under your Oak trees. Are they California Live Oaks? If they are, I don't know how Japanese Maples do with Oak Root Fungus. You should check.

The photo is a threadleaf weeping maple that is in full sun. I don't have leaf burn on it in the summer. It's about 3 feet tall and should stay short. Here's hoping.
