Rapid growth, reliability, and enduring fall color make it a perfect specimen tree. This is an incredible shade tree in the lawn. You do need to be aware that the trunk is sensitive to weed eater damage as a young tree. It can be severely set back due to weed-eater contact. Ring with a buffer zone of mulch that benefits the tree in more ways than one, or use a tree collar for protection. #ProPlantTips for Care Great results come from selecting an appropriate planting site. Plant in full sun for best results. Give your tree at least 20 feet of space away from driveways, walkways, or patios. October Glory® requires fast-draining soils. For a Maple, it's actually surprisingly tolerant to periodically wet locations - as long as the drainage is good. It won't grow in standing water. Provide a consistent schedule of moisture, especially when the tree is first planted. Give it more water during heat spikes. When planted in an open space, add 3 to 4 inches of mulch spread out to 3 feet outside of the canopy. This will keep the root system cool during a hot summer. Because it prefers slightly acidic soil, feed it with an acidic fertilizer, such as Dr. Earth Acid Lover in the spring. Prune just after it leafs out in spring so the cuts don't drip sap. Most importantly, love this tree with its amazing fall show. Order your October Glory® Maple Tree at NatureHills.com today!
