#ProPlantTips for Care

Give this tree the treatment and attention it deserves by planting your Maple in full sun to partial shade (which these trees will quickly outgrow) and in a well-drained soil location. Highly adaptable, these trees only need regular moisture their first year or so in the ground, but become very hardy once established. Provide a 3-4 inch deep layer of mulch and be sure to prune your tree in the late winter after the sap has run.
