My young Japanese maple tree that I transplanted from my backyard to the front, has leaves that are already turning red. Should I be concerned? What might it need? I did note that some of the leaves had tiny white or beige spots on them before. The red leaves appeared about 3 weeks ago. In my area, trees don't turn fallish colors until around October.
This tree in in the front yard towards the back near a fence. It has a layer of loose soil in which it was planted, and has a layer of mulch around it but not touching the trunk. I hear they do not like to be planted in to deeply. I believe I planted it in about 6 inches deep (the root ball).
Help?
