I live in the Bay Area (California). My Maple is loosing all of its leaves. It looks like it is dying. Is this how it is supposed to look this time of year? We have been getting into the low 30's at night.

There are many different varieties of Japanese maple, but are all deciduous and should lose their leaves in the fall. It will come back and look beautiful in the spring.

I'm right out of Chico, CA. and my two Japanese maples only have about 5 percent of their leaves left. Yours are right on schedule. Don't worry.

We have 14 on our lot and they have all dropped their leaves for the winter. They drop their leaves more based on the length of daylight rather than temperature.
Don't worry, the leaves will be back in the Spring.

Yep, it's right on time, it will lose all it's leaves. When they come back they will be dark green turning to purplish-red as the year progresses

Yes, it needs to lose its leaves and go into dormancy. You can enjoy the shape of the branches til Spring!
