They were last year. They are a multi colored mule. Do they do that in the spring and then change to the spotted leaves? Should I be worried?
Thank you so much - we love your web site.

Gardening is a windy NIGHTMARE until microclimates have been set up. 7 years ago, when we came here and had NO protection until we created it over the years, we were lucky enough to be given one of these - plus around 25 more, all different - by someone closing down his nearby Acer nursery. (He's just given us 5 more including a magnificent Trompenburg and Yookon. Woo Hoo!) Now, we stupidly planted Esk. Sunset VERY close to the house but on the southern side. It's in a bed which it shares with a Sengu-kaku and Kotonohime, a Sarcocca and stunning tree peony as well as a Pittosporum daphniphylloides and a Fatsia polycarpa! So, it's still fairly small, around 10' due to the competition - we feed them but they are all going to remain as pretty small trees, overgrown shrubs I suppose! Now, they ALL came through two horrendous winters - one of sustained -20C for at least 4 weeks, and then this last one with a shock hit of -18C (-4F) which lasted for around a week but came with almost no warning when things were still unseasonally warm. And now, in a drought and hosepipe ban, since the start of which we've been deluged with rain of biblical proportions for literally weeks, serious floods everywhere, the ES is STUNNING! She is the most eye-popping pure pink tree and we now know what she likes/hates. We are at last in love with her! In our view, this is a tree which needs a lot of water and a lot of light but hates,hates, hates sustained bright sunshine, heat and drying winds. We had a couple of bright dry days last week and the top leaves started to crinkle up. Its raining again and she's happy. Personally, hats off to anyone who can grow this tree in the heat of CA, I'd say she'd be happier in cooler states further north. But here's the thing - gardening is weird. Things defy us all. Please remember that our ES is in a bed which is rather tightly crammed - out in a spacious place she may have fared differently and my comments might be different. This is just our personal experience with ES.
