My NOID Japanese Maple in one area is not doing well. For one, it is competing for water next to the forest behind us. Those forest tree look to us for their water. It is not fond of the heat but there's not a lot we can do about that. We have another variety in a pot and it is doing exceptionally well. We are thinking of removing the ailing tree and potting it as well. Not being familiar with this species, can any Japanese Maple be grown in a pot like my other? If it helps, this has red leaves when first leafs out then turns green, about 6 feet tall..
