Watering: \u003c\/strong\u003eDuring its formative years, water weekly. As the tree matures, continue to provide deep watering during the summer months, especially in dry conditions.

Fertilizing: \u003c\/strong\u003eSugar maples generally do not require fertilizer during their first year, though an organic root-support fertilizer may be used.
