Loved for its spectacular fall foliage color, the Sugar Maple also has many other attributes. Botanically named, Acer saccharum, the Sugar Maple is a tall deciduous tree that can grow to 60 to 70 feet. As the temperatures drop in the fall, its dark green foliage explodes into vibrant orange, yellow and red hues. Its large canopy can provide welcome shade relief during the summer months.

A native of northeast America and Canada, the Sugar Maple is considered hardy throughout zones 4 to 8. It forms a large, round-to-oval canopy that is always appreciated by the birds. This tree is suitable for open spaces where it can grow to its full potential. 

Sugar Maple Care

With its large mature size, you will want to plant this tree where it will be free of any potential overhead or structural worries. Soil-wise, it prefers a slightly acidic, deep, fertile and well-drained substrate without compaction. Happiest in full sun but can also tolerate partial shade. Irrigate regularly for the first few years until it is established. Avoid fertilizing for the first year after planting. 

Prune only in late summer when the sap levels are at their lowest. Prune to remove dead, damaged, and diseased branches or those that are crossing or rubbing. 

Sugar Maple Spacing

When mature, the Sugar Maple can grow to an impressive 60 to 70 feet tall and 50 to 60 feet across. Due to its eventual size, plant each sugar maple at least 50 feet apart.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Guarantee and Warranty

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
