    Potentially Dying Maple Tree
    Hi,
    Recently I received a bare root red maple tree from someone really special to me. I didn't have the time nor appliances to plant the tree immediately so, as instructed I kept occasionally damped the roots and re-tied them in its original package (then stored it in a cool, dark enviornment).

    A week later I planted the tree. However, since it was only 3 feet tall and currently with no leaves I decided to plant it in a large pot first. This, I found, was suitable until I found sufficient land space for it (hopefully once I get my own place).

    The third day after the tree was planted, I noticed it started shedding its outer coat. I was afraid the tree was drying and so I scratched the bark with my finger to see if it was still Green underneath but no, it was light brown/white. I scratched the base of the bark (close to the soil) and it still remains green.

    It hasn't started budding yet nor does it show any signs of new leaves yet. Is my tree dead? Or dying? Help...

    And a Hi! Back at Ya T-girl5, And welcome to AMHD :)

    Because of the Forum "brownout" yesterday. I answered your post here: dead tops on young maple trees

    I just found out about it. There were multiple posts lost yesterday.

    If the Admin would be kind enough he might fix-up the mix-up, when he gets time, I understand they are trying to trace the problem.

    Regards... k
