#ProPlantTips for Care:
This fast-growing Maple is known for providing drought tolerance while being adaptable to most well-draining soils. Overall, this tree is very low maintenance when planted in full sun. Provide new trees with regular moisture access and a 3-4 inch deep layer of mulch to protect their roots, especially lawn trees that need a mulch buffer to protect the trunk from damage. Prune if needed in late winter or very early in the spring, but after the sap has run to prevent syrupy leaks.
- Full Sun
- Well-Drained Soil
- Moderate Moisture Needs
- Prune Late Winter
- Easy To Care For & Fast Growing
