The Red Maple tree (Acer rubrum) is one of the most familiar and admired shade trees in North America. It is loved for its vivid scarlet leaves in autumn, its fresh green canopy through summer, and its ability to thrive in various soils.

A true four-season tree, it offers beauty in every stage—red buds in early spring, lush foliage in summer, fiery leaves in fall, and a strong branching form in winter. At TN Nursery, we ship healthy bare-root maple trees that establish quickly and bring dependable color and shade to any yard or landscape.

Why Gardeners Choose Red Maples

These trees are known for their adaptability and steady growth. They do well in planting zones 3 to 9, reaching heights of 40 to 60 feet when mature. Their rapid growth, often adding up to two feet each year, makes them a popular choice for homeowners who want shade in less time. They tolerate many soil types—including clay—and adjust easily to rural and urban environments. Few native trees match it's ability to combine toughness with show-stopping seasonal color.

Care and Growing Conditions

They are best planted in full sun but will accept partial shade. While they prefer moist, slightly acidic soil, Red Maples are resilient and adapt well to most conditions. Younger seedlings and trees benefit from regular watering during their first year, helping them form a strong root system. Once established, they require little care, only occasional pruning to keep their shape and remove weak or crowded branches.

Care

Red Maple trees thrive in well-drained, moist soil. Water regularly, especially during dry periods, and mulch to keep moisture and suppress weeds. Prune to maintain shape and remove dead branches. Fertilize in early spring for optimal growth.

Plant Reproduction

Red Maple Tree spreads via wind-dispersed seeds and root sprouts.

How to Grow and Care for Bare Root Trees

Bare root trees are shipped dormant without soil, making them lightweight, cost-effective, and easy to plant during the cool months of early spring or fall. To begin, soak the roots in a bucket of water for 4–6 hours before planting to rehydrate them. Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil and ample space for the tree’s mature size.

Dig a hole twice as wide as the spread of the roots and deep enough to keep the root flare (where the roots begin to spread from the trunk) at or slightly above ground level. Create a small mound of soil in the center of the hole, spread the roots evenly over it, backfill with native soil, and gently tamp down to remove air pockets. Water thoroughly after planting.

Keep the soil consistently moist (not soggy) during the first growing season, and apply mulch around the base—avoiding direct contact with the trunk—to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Stake the tree if necessary, and prune only to remove dead or damaged branches. With proper care, your bare root tree will establish quickly and grow strong for years to come.
