Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Remove the stake and ties at planting, as these are only for shipping. Choose a location with partial shade to full sun and ensure the soil is well-draining. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and place the tree gently in the center. Fill in with soil and water thoroughly.
2. Watering: This maple thrives with regular watering, especially in its first year. Water deeply once a week during dry periods, ensuring the soil stays moist but not waterlogged.
3. Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring to shape the tree and remove any dead or damaged branches. Aim to maintain an open canopy to allow light to penetrate and improve airflow.
4. Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring before new growth begins. Follow package instructions for the appropriate amount, taking care not to over-fertilize, which can damage the roots.
