Mine has some white spots on it

Leaves are FANTASTIC

FANTASTIC BLUE : )

Its a NEW ZEALAND FLAX i think as iv 1 IDENTICAL in my garden check out my pic`s : )

Cordylines are such great architechtural plants

Hi, yes it's the wind that's caused the tips of the leaf to curl, I've had exactly the same problem with my 2 green acers this year, as since we moved up to Chesterfield the wind is a lot stronger than it was down in Leamington Spa. Don't worry thou the leaves will drop off in winter and new shoots will apear next year, just move it back in a shady sheltered spot :-)

Its showing signs of stress and its unhappy in its new position.The problem is probably due to sun and wind exposure. Acers like shady positions away from direct sun and winds that can burn the leaves.They also like to have their roots in a moisture retentive soil but must not get waterlogged. If it is still showing signs of stress you might consider moving it back to a shady and sheltered position.Hope this helps. Best wishes, Grenville.

Acers are the most beautiful of trees.

Hi Simon
It's wind damage! I've just lost all the leaves on my Acer due to high winds. Needs a very sheltered position. Mine will overwinter and re-leaf next year

You are right - acers don't like sunny or windy positions. Its leaves are telling you to move it into the shade and shelter! We have an expert on this sit on growing acers - look at Sodapopkl's pictures!
