Choose a site with full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. Soak the roots in water for a few hours before planting. Dig a hole wide enough to spread the roots without crowding, and position the tree at the same depth it grew in the nursery. Backfill with soil, tamp gently, and water thoroughly. Apply a layer of mulch around the base to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, but keep mulch away from the trunk.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater regularly during the first growing season to help establish a strong root system. Once established, Sugar Maples are relatively low-maintenance. Prune only to remove dead or damaged branches, preferably in late winter. Protect young trees from deer and rodents if necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne Sugar Maple bare root tree, 12-24 inches tall.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67862012100918,"sku":"FSG-233","price":78.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.8011280316_gfiv.jpg?v=1793267882","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/1-sugar-maple-bare-root-tree-12-24-in-acer-saccharum-shade-landscape","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
