    Hola Stephen1986, ¿mejoraron la condición de su planta? Te pregunto por qué tuve un problema similar, y como no podía resolverlo, elegí podar mi árbol de arce . Ahora estoy esperando ver si comienza a mejorar, pero hasta ahora no ha mejorado. Si logras buenos resultados con tu acer, ¿me cuentas lo que hiciste?

      Here is what @For009 asked (in Spanish)
      Hi Stephen1986, did you improve the condition of your plant? I ask you why I had a similar problem, and since I couldn't solve it, I chose to prune my maple tree. Now I'm waiting to see if it starts to improve, but so far it hasn't improved. If you achieve good results with your acer, can you tell me what you did?

        I agree with all the expert opinions and advice given, Stephen, but, as Spruce said, taking the tree out to inspect the roots will probably have a negative effect, especially during the growing season, so it might not recover, but I hope I'm wrong.

        You might find a compost mixture of three parts compost, (none of my 4 Acers in pots are soil based as they can get hard when dry), two parts sand, one part grit which will give you the weight and great drainage, and the compost does not have to be ericaceous as they will grow happily in most soils.:dunno::coffee::)
