What causes the tips of Japanese Maple Leaves to turn brown in summer?
The easy answer is that you live in a hot climate with compacted soils.
It is not serious and will not cause any damage to your tree. Browning
to the tips of the leaves is not
caused by under water, it is also not a sign of too much sun, it is
actually caused by a combination of high air temperatures, high
root zone temperatures and excess water or lack of air to the roots.
