View Full Planting & Care Instructions

Rainwater should be enough but in times of drought, or heat, you may want to add a little extra watering to your usual routine.

So far so good

The tree arrived in good shape, just a cutting with small roots, but it is putting out leaves already. Optimistic so far.

Excited expectations for these two to leaf out

Can’t wait for these two Autumn Blaze Red Maple trees to fully leaf out and show off this year. We bought two premium potted 5-6 ft and they have already budded out. We have only had them for a week. If they perform as we anticipate we will buy more to line our quarter mile driveway.

Bent Autumn Blaze

Tree arrived in good condition with just a couple buds starting to sprout. Was a little surprised after planting and cutting it loose from the bamboo stake, to see how bent the trunk was! But I tied and triple staked it, to staighten it back up and after about a week in the ground, the buds are really starting to pop open! As with the river birch I also purchased, I dug a big hole and surrounded the root balls with a mixture of original soil, sand, premium topsoil and mushroom compost. Both trees seem to really like this concoction!

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHello James! Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad to hear your tree arrived in good condition and is showing new growth. The bent trunk can sometimes happen during shipping, but it’s great that you were able to stake it properly and help it straighten up. Sounds like it’s well on its way to thriving now! Keep us posted on its progress, and if you need any further help, don’t hesitate to contact us.
