Acer and Nandinas dying?
Hello
I've been away for a couple of weeks and found my potted Acer had lost all of its new leaves. I think its because of windy and dry conditions a few weeks ago. Its a small specimen. Its still alive as I scrap the bark and it's green in all the branches. What can I do with it? Will it be OK next year?
Also unrelated to this, I have two nandina domestica. One was medium sized and another one was one of the dwarf varieties -- can't remember the name.
They have also both lost all their leaves and look green when scrapped. No idea if it's the same reason as the Acer though. Will these come back too? At the moment they look really ugly in their pots without leaves..

They should recover, with a bit of luck, but it's best to get them properly hydrated again, and then keep them somewhere out of the sun until they start thriving properly.
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I have put them in the shade for now. Is it possible that they get more leaves this year?
Hopefully, they'll produce more foliage, with some shelter and after getting rehydrated well.
