Landscape Uses and Maintenance – Sugar Maple Tree

Sugar Maple trees are incredibly statuesque trees that will enhance your landscape. Their excellent upright yet rounded branching is highlighted in the winter. Autumn color is bright orange and red, making them a lovely option for creating fall color in your landscape.

This is an ideal shade tree for your yard that many generations will love to come, especially if you are starting your own sugarbush. Plant a couple at the edge of your property to create shade for passersby or to lower your heating costs. It's a lovely tree to sit and relax under with a book!

Flowers of The Sugar Maple Tree

The flowers of this tree are small and bloom in early spring. They are bright yellow in color. The flowers are not showy. They are later replaced by their signature winged seeds (samaras) that “helicopter” their way to the ground.

Plenty of wildlife is attracted to the seeds, including mammals and birds. Prune damaged or diseased branches.This tree is not prone to many pathogens. When young, it is not deer-resistant. Protect with caging.

Noteworthy Characteristics

Sugar Maple Tree is the essential tree for a maple syrup business. Create your own sugarbush in your backyard and try to learn this old-fashioned skill. You will taste – and reap - the rewards of homemade maple syrup! It is the host plant for many different butterfly species, including Rosy Maple, Imperial, and Cecropia silk moth.

How To Grow & Care Tips

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.
