So I came home to find my maple’s leaves were all scorched by the sun. What would be my next steps? Defoliation? Will she survive? What would be the recovery process and how long would that take? She had plenty of water as I water her every morning and have a humidity tray under her as well. Thanks for the feedback! This is her pre-scorch. View attachment 435013
This picture of leaves this time of year is normal. This is not leaf scorch. You will know when its scorched. It will be burnt and turn brown and dry, able to crumble in your fingers. These leaves have just unwrapped from hibernation out of a bud small as a grain of rice or smaller. You would be crinkly too!!
