Help! Is my acer dead?! I bought a month ago very small and twiggy, planted in a sunny sheltered spot in clay soil mixed with compost. It now looks like dry twigs! There's a tiny bit of red growth but I'm not sure if it's going to make it. Or is this normal? #helpme #deadplant #acer #japanesemaple #adviceneeded #experthelp

I have had my Japanese maple for nearly two years and it is still small

I'd say it is going to make it. I can see lots of buds. Gently bend each of the branches, if they flex they're alive.
