Our beautiful red maple seems to have sustained pretty severe hail damage from a storm we had a few weeks ago when the leaves were just emerging and were still very delicate. The leaves in the upper canopy and one side are now withering, dying and falling off. My sidewalk looks like it does in the fall! Will the tree make it? Anything we can do to support it during what is probably going to be a stressful summer? I’ve read not to fertilize when they sustain this kind of damage. Is that true. I originally wanted to go to zamzows and get some of their Thrive supplement for trees but now I’m not sure. Looking at it now I’d say 60-70% of the leaves are not healthy. We are in SW Idaho.
