#ProPlantTips for Care:

Maple trees need full sun and well-drained soil to grow their best. Moderate yet consistent moisture is necessary for new trees so they do not dry out between waterings and establish an extensive root system. A 3-4 inch deep layer of mulch around the roots keeps them stress-free! Prune in late spring after the sap has run to correct growth and form.

• Full Sun
• Well-Drained Soil
• Moderate Moisture Needs
• Prune In Spring
• Very Easy To Grow & Highly Adaptable
