Thirty odd years ago, my father bought me an Acer Palmatum Dissectum. It became the pride of my rockery area. Every Autumn I dead-wooded it and consequently it became a gorgeous specimen; or at least until yesterday it was. I am laid-up at the moment after knee surgery, and my daughter-in-law, in an act of kindness, decided (unasked) to clear up the patio, which was becoming weed infested. At the same time she 'pruned' the maple, thinking that it's weeping habit was merely overgrowth. Now my pride and joy looks like a lone Acacia tree on the African plains. At 74 years, of age I now wonder if I shall live long enough to see it in its full glory again.
Any one with any ideas to keep this shrub alive please? :?
TIA
