Acer gall mite: Prune out affected shoots in winter or apply a horticultural oil spray in early spring.

Verticillium wilt: Remove and burn infected wood; avoid replanting maples in the same soil for several years.

Aphids: Wash off with a strong jet of water or treat with insecticidal soap if infestations are heavy.

Horse chestnut scale: Scrape off visible scales by hand or apply a systemic insecticide in spring.

Leaf scorch: Ensure consistent watering and mulch the base to retain soil moisture.
