We have similar arrangements, a Japanese maple in a built in planter like this for over 5 years now. How long can the tree live in such a planter? I have noticed the tree becoming unhealthy and wonder if it needs more space. Thx!

    Hi Cynthia,


    Planter box size would not usually affect the health of a tree (especially one which has been healthy for 5 years), it mainly affects the size that the tree can grow to.


    If your plant is suddenly having health issues, a few suggestions are:

    - Check the bark/leaves of the tree for diseases

    - Check the soil for water logging or other issues

    - Test acidity of soil

    - Apply treatments such as slow release fertiliser or compost.


    I recommend you contact your original supplier or even your local plant nursery for suggestions before implementing anything. We use Plantmark who are very good.


    Wishing you luck!
