What Is Causing Spots On The Leaves Of Your Japanese Maples? - Gardening 101

The spots appearing on your Japanese maples during the summer are typically caused by leaf thrips, small insects that feed on the leaves and transmit a fungus. These thrips lay eggs on the underside of the leaves in the spring, and as the larvae hatch, they cause the spots to appear later in the season. While some people may mistakenly attribute the spots to issues like improper watering or frost, the primary culprit is the leaf thrips, which tend to target stressed or young plants. To prevent this, you can treat the trees with an insecticide like Spectracide in early to mid-spring, before the thrips lay eggs. However, using chemicals should be a last resort. The good news is that the spots generally do not harm the overall health of the tree, and the issue usually resolves on its own the following year as the plant matures and becomes more established. Managing environmental stress factors, like improper watering or planting depth, can help reduce the likelihood of thrips returning. At MrMaple.com we are passionate about Japanese maples!
