A robust and heat-tolerant option for your landscape
The Highland Park® Sugar Maple Tree brings a balance of beauty and durability to your yard. Known for its impressive growth rate and upright form, it's faster growing and more upright than the typical bigtooth maple while being smaller and more heat-resistant than standard sugar maples. This makes it an excellent choice if you're looking for a tree that provides vibrant fall color—ruffling into golden yellows and deep oranges—while fitting neatly into your space.
Adding this tree to your landscape means enhancing your outdoor environment with not just its stunning visual appeal but also its adaptability. It thrives in various soil types and is well-suited to urban environments, making it a reliable choice for almost any yard. With its majestic stature and hardy nature, the Highland Park® Sugar Maple not only contributes to the overall aesthetic of your property but also provides shade and ecological benefits over time.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Remove the stake and ties at planting, as these are only for shipping. Choose a location that receives full sun to partial shade and has well-draining soil. Dig a hole twice as wide and the same depth as the root ball, and position the tree in the center. Backfill with soil and water thoroughly to eliminate air pockets.
2. Watering: Ensure consistent moisture, especially during the first growing season. Water deeply at least once a week, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. During hot, dry spells, increase frequency to keep the soil moist.
3. Pruning: Prune your Highland Park® Sugar Maple in late winter or early spring while it's still dormant. Remove any dead or damaged branches and maintain an open canopy to improve air circulation and light penetration.
4. Fertilizing: Fertilize in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer to encourage healthy growth. Avoid excessive nitrogen, which can promote weak growth. Following the initial spring feeding, one additional application in mid-summer is usually sufficient.
