Question
I have Japanese Maple planted in the front yard, in an open area getting either too much wind/sun. How do I protect the tree and will it die before winter sets in?

Answer
Your Japanese maple may have burned from those 2 or 3 days of intense heat we had. It should be fine. It is important to be sure that the plants are well watered, especially if newly planted. The leaves will begin to fall off shortly, probably sooner than normal if they scorched. New leaves will resprout in the spring. To prevent further wind damage, spray the tree with Cloud Cover or Wilt Proof after watering. The coating will prevent moisture loss in the leaves.
