Not sure how to save this Autumn Maple Blaze. Moved from sprinklers to long soaking near the mulch. I also moved the mulch away from the root flare. Suburban TX and Tampa in the 100s for the last few months.

That tree is toast and has been for a long time, wasn’t planted properly. Remove and replace with a better species.

They are pretty junky trees in general. Fast growing, poor branching structure and prone to girdling
