#ProPlantTips for Care
Best in full sun, plant this Maple in well-drained soil and regular moisture until they are 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.
The Legacy® is fast-growing for a Sugar Maple. It can reach up to 60 feet in height with a 50-foot spread to its dense, oval crown. The leathery leaves and durable foliage resist heat and drought, and it's among the most shade-tolerant of the large deciduous trees. This Maple is easy to grow and does not require much maintenance. It's salt-tolerant and thus performs well in some urban environments as well.
