Autumn Blaze Maple Care

When planting your Autumn Blaze Maple tree be sure you have the right location and conditions for your new tree to thrive. Spring and Fall are ideal times to plant. However, if you avoid freezing and hot temperatures you can plant your Maple almost any time of the year.

These trees tolerate full sun to part shade and prefer soil that is well-drained, slightly acidic, and nutrient rich. However, Maples will adapt to a variety of soils. If you have alkaline soil, you can amend your soil. To acidify your soil, amend with compost, elemental sulfur, or use fertilizers specific for acid loving plants. Mulching with pine straw or pine bark will help over time as they begin to break down, but are not an immediate solution for increasing acidity. Mulching will also aid in keeping the roots cool and moist. Add a layer of 2 to 3 inches of mulch. Do not allow the mulch to touch the trunk as this increases the chances of pests and disease. Maples should be watered often enough to keep the soil moist. Maples can tolerate a wet area, but they shouldn't be in standing water. Fertilize in early spring and when planting to give your tree a boost. Choose a slow release fertilizer. When planting take care not to burn the roots by mixing the fertilizer into the soil before placing your tree in the hole. Maple trees don't generally require pruning, but, if needed, prune when they are dormant to remove any dead, dying, or crowded branches, or to maintain shape. Maples are salt intolerant so keep them away from road sides in cooler climates and beach areas as well as any area known for soils with high salinity.

The best way to prevent disease and pests is by providing the appropriate care for your plants. Proper location choice, watering, and fertilization are the keys to your success. Scale and Aphids are insects that can affect Maples. You can treat these pests naturally with horticultural oil, neem oil, or insecticidal soap. For severe infections you can use pesticides like carbaryl, also known as Sevin. Occasionally fungal issues can arise. Generally, treating after infection isn't extremely effective, so if you have problems yearly treat in early spring with fungicides to prevent infection. Neem Oil is an organic method of treating some fungal diseases and pests. It can be effective, but the entire tree must be coated in order for this method to be effective.

Landscape ideas

The Autumn Blaze Maple tree is a great tree for your yard. With a mature width of up to 40 feet and height around 50, this is a good sized shade tree. Be sure to give it plenty of room to thrive. Plant 1, 2, or 3 in your front or backyard as individual specimen trees or plant a row to line your backyard or a long driveway. Space your maple hedge so that each tree has at least 15 feet to the next tree. You will enjoy shade within a few years with this being one of our top choices in shade trees for sale.

No idea

I have no idea the trees will live and grow come spring. The trees were planted late October and in a possible dormant phase. I will only know if this investment in 10 trees was worth the time and money. 3 stars until these trees actually grow.

Beautiful Healthy Trees

The Maple trees I ordered arrived healthy and they were the correct size which I ordered, 6-7 feet. The trees were packaged very well, really strong boxes (to survive UPS), haha, and well watered. I was so pleased that I ordered a 1-2 foot Colorado Blue Spruce. In future, Planting Tree is the first place I check before I buy additional trees, bushes or gardening supplies. Thank you!

My Baby Autumn Blaze

It took a week longer than it was supposed to before it arrived but it still had leaves on it when I opened the box and it is planted and still has leaves! Came with instructions for planting, which was helpful. I am excited to see how it looks in the Spring.
