Re: Black leaf tips

Hi Penny,
This sounds like it could be leaf scorch, which acers are very prone to. It can be caused be wind and/ or too much sunlight. Acers prefer a sheltered, shady positioning.
The good news is it's not a serious problem, and is mainly just an aesthetic issue. If you can improve conditions in any way (as mentioned above), you should find that your acer produces healthy new leaves.
Hope this helps!
