Our plants are grown all over the country and lead time on items may be different because of this. Once your order is placed, you will also receive the specific shipment time-frame information as part of your order confirmation. Once an item ships, you will receive shipment notification and tracking numbers, so you can follow along while your plant travels to your doorstep. We use FedEx, UPS, or USPS at our discretion.

Due to winter weather we have put a hold on shipping to the areas shown below in grey. You can still order now and we will ship the plant to you during an appropriate time for your zone.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

This Maple tree wants to make your life as carefree as possible and is very low maintenance once planted in full sun and well-drained soil. After that, the tree will take care of itself and go to work illuminating your landscaping! A 3-4 inch deep layer of mulch around the roots supports your tree's growth, and prune your tree in the spring, but wait until after the sap has finished running to avoid sticky situations.
