Sugar Maple

"The Sugar Maple Tree, `Acer saccharum,' produces a sap that is commonly collected in the spring months for creating a variety of flavorful confections. This is one of our most majestic and stately deciduous trees. It is also one of the best trees we carry for brilliant fall color, as its leaves change to a wonderful red or yellow-orange in the autumn. Excellent for a large shade or lawn tree, it exhibits a dense crown laden with its glossy, dark green and heavily waxed leaves. It is most often grown for its dense shade and wonderful fall color. It will not grow very will in areas that have a restricted root zone."

To encourage new flowers to open, pinch out topmost buds and deadhead spend flowers. This plant requires intense sunlight and a rich soil to grow best. They should, however, be kept in a cooler location, as extreme heat can damage the plants. They are most commonly grown in flowerbeds and borders.
