Hello,
I'm new to bonsai and have a few questions I hope you all can help me with. I live in Hawaii and recently purchased a Japanese maple from a local nursery. I really love the look maples and after doing some research I found that Japanese Maples are really hard to grow in Hawaii's climate. Im not sure the species. So I guess what I'm asking is can it be done?
I also noticed the leaves are beginning to get holes and some leaves are turning brown and the new buds are drying out and dying. I found some tiny white bugs in the soil and on the leaves but not sure how to address the issue. I read on the internet that maples are really sensitive to insecticides so is there any other way to get rid of these little white bugs?
As I said earlier I'm new to bonsai and would really appreciate any help from you folks.
THANKS!
