UPDATE ON PAGE 2
So two weeks ago - at the seattle bonsai auction, I got a maple forest. The main tree had some leaf burn which wasn't bad at the time (that only should have been the red flag) but you know at auctions trees go for really cheap and I somehow ended up with it. Anyway, now two weeks later, on the main tree, 100% of the leaves are dried out and I don't see any new buds swelling - I've never had to deal with leaf burn in the past cause I keep my maples in the shade most of the day and they only receive morning sun.
So the question is - is it dying or does it take time for the new growth to come back. I've defoliated trees in the past and I've never worried if it took a while but this time the tree took a hit and I don't know how maples usually respond to that.
Anyway, if anybody can help I'd appreciate it - I was gonna add a bunch of maples to the forest anyway but it would suck to lose the main tree.
