Akito is the name for maples in japanese. This means the god or master, calm, and at peace or rest. It represents the calmness and peace of the elements and world.
Yes but the flowers are insignificant.
Its either dry at the roots or suffering from wind burn. Japanese maples require a bit of shelter.
If a tree is going to die, you cant do much about it, you may be able to maintain its health a bit longer though.
