Maple Trees: Timeless Beauty, Year-Round Strength, and Native Reliability

Maples are beautiful, classic trees that create stunning seasonal color. Their bright fall foliage, hardiness and longevity make maples a staple in yards and parks across the U.S. Since 1959, TN Nursery has provided robust field-grown maples to residential properties, restoration efforts, and recognizable locations such as Arlington National Cemetery, the Washington Monument, and movie sets for The Discovery Channel and The History Channel. With years of experience under our tree belts, you can count on our maples.

Why Maple Trees Are a Top Choice for Homeowners and Landscapers

Maple trees are very versatile. If you want quick shade, bright fall colors, or a native tree that helps pollinators and wildlife, maples fit almost any yard. They grow upright, have strong branches, and can handle many soil types, making them great for lawns, driveways, woodland edges, and big gardens. Sugar maples show golden-orange leaves in fall, while red maples turn a deep red. Each type has its own look and benefits for the environment.

TN Nursery's Expertise in Growing High-Quality Maples

All our maple trees grow outdoors in their natural climate, not in greenhouses. This helps them develop strong roots and get used to real weather. We send our maples as dormant bare-root trees, which helps them settle in quickly and stay healthy for years. With more than sixty years of experience growing native hardwoods, our trees are known for being tough, well-shaped, and reliable.

Benefits of Planting Maple Trees

Maples have year after year value in any landscape. Maples cool the landscape in the summer with their large canopy. They can help filter the air and control erosion. Maples offer habitat for birds and pollinators. They provide seasonal interest with greens in the spring, full coverage in the summer, and beautiful reds, oranges and golds in the fall. Maples are classic trees that mature into strong, reliable forms that provide generations of value to a property and structure to a landscape.
