Silver Maple Tree Seedlings Are Not Fussy at All 

Silver maple saplings love heavy moisture but dislike having wet feet. The tree grows near marshes, riverbeds, and flood plains in the wild. Regardless of that preference for humidity, they can also tolerate short droughts. 

Silver maple seedlings will do best if you provide plentiful woody organic materials when you plant them. When planting, add a generous scoop of hardwood mulch, peat moss, or other nitrogen-rich compost or fertilizer. As the tree grows, amend the soil with this organic matter twice yearly.

Besides these two requests, your silver maple seedlings need little else from you.
