We live in southern NH. In early August 2006 we purchased a small red maple tree, about three foot tall and bushy, and planted it in an area with six inches of loam on top of gravel, with sun until 2:00 pm or so. It did well thru the fall and came back to life this spring, fully leafed out and an apparently healthy tree. In mid June the leaves started to curl and then drop off, all but about 8 which hung on for a month or six weeks when they too were gone. I could see little white spots which didn't appear to be insects on a few of the distressed leaves. Now there are no leaves. A similar tree, probably 7 feet tall, about 100 feet away continues to thrive. Where did I go wrong?
