Red Maple is a medium-sized, deciduous tree. It is native to eastern North America. The tree gets its name from the red color its leafstalks, flowers, fruit, and new growth contain throughout the year. The leaves are typically 2 to 5 inches long, with tooth-margined lobes that are medium to dark green and turn red in the fall. However, some turn yellow or orange. The flowers, which are deep red and in clusters, appear in later winter/early spring (March or April.) Its fruit and seeds are two-winged samaras.
Planting Red Maple Seedlings
Red Maple Seedlings can withstand cold temperatures, but wind and ice may break branches. They prefer moist soil with slight acid conditions but can withstand a broad spectrum of soils. Fall is the best time to plant them, and it's recommended to purchase a tree grown from its own roots rather than a grafted tree. Once they are installed, it is essential to keep the dirt moist. A layer of organic substance around the bottom of the tree can help.
Red Maple Seedlings Requirements
Red Maple Seedlings rise faster than the Norway and Sugar Maples but less than the Silver Maple. Its crown is usually oval or rounded and is spread between 30 and 50 feet at maturity. It is a good option for lawns, streets, and parks because it can tolerate wet soil and air pollution. The tree has a shallow, flat root system that can cause sidewalks and driveways to buckle if planted too close to them.
