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 was grown. Backfill with native soil, water thoroughly, and apply a layer of mulch around the base, keeping it 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 crossing branches, preferably in late winter.
