Planting Your Sugar Maple Trees

The Sugar Maple Tree (Acer saccharum), also known as Rock Maple or Hard Maple, is a stunning addition to any landscape. This listing includes 5 bare root trees, each measuring 12-24 inches in height. The Acer saccharum is celebrated for its brilliant fall foliage and its contribution to maple syrup production. These trees are perfect for creating a shade canopy and enhancing the beauty of your property. They typically ship bare root in the fall and winter and in pots during the growing season.

Acer saccharum thrives in USDA hardiness zones 3-8. Mature trees typically reach heights of 40-100 feet (12-30 meters). They feature a round, dense crown and have a slow to medium growth rate. These trees prefer medium, well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade. It is important to note that the Sugar Maple does not fare well in heavy, poorly drained soils and is sensitive to road salt and urban pollution. Proper planting and care will ensure these trees flourish in your yard.

One of the key benefits of planting Sugar Maple trees is their longevity and aesthetic appeal. Not only do they provide vibrant fall colors, but they also offer shade and contribute to a healthy ecosystem. These trees are native to northeastern and central North America and are well-adapted to colder climates. With proper care, your Sugar Maple trees will provide years of enjoyment and natural beauty while increasing your property value.

To ensure the success of your new Sugar Maple trees, it is crucial to plant them correctly. Choose a location with well-drained soil and adequate sunlight. Dig a hole wide enough to accommodate the root system and deep enough so that the top of the root ball is level with the ground. Water thoroughly after planting and continue to monitor soil moisture, especially during dry periods. Fertilize in the spring to promote healthy growth. Protect young trees from deer and other wildlife to prevent damage.
