Growing Information

Sugar Maples thrive in full sun to partial shade and prefer well-drained, loamy soil. Regular watering is important until the tree is established. These trees are hardy in USDA zones 3 through 8 and typically grow to heights between 40 and 75 feet. The bare root format allows for easy planting during the dormant season, from October to March, when the trees have no leaves and are ready to grow in spring.
