Acer tree
Only half my Acer tree has flowered. Some branches have lovely deep red leaves and other branches are completely bald. Any ideas?

The bare bits are probably dead - scratch with finger nail, and if no green then they are, so cut them away. Unfortunately this can leave the tree a bit lop-sided, so you may want to balance up by pruning live parts. You should get good new growth. In future, give them a bit of water during dry periods, and a mulch is always a good idea.
