Planting & Care
1. Planting: The Silver Maple can be planted in any soil condition, though it naturally grows in soggy bottomlands. It can tolerate full sun or partial shade (but prefers 4 to 8 hours of sunlight daily). Plant in a hole twice as wide, though just as deep as the root ball. Mulch around the canopy, but not near the trunk, to help the tree maintain moisture. Plant your Silver Maples with some spacing from power lines, structures, sidewalks and sewer lines.
2. Watering: This tree can tolerate wet or dry conditions. Be sure to water the tree weekly in its young life to ensure proper growth. If you live in an area with frequent droughts, you may need to water weekly throughout its life.
3. Pruning: If you live in an area with windy conditions, hurricanes, ice storms, or salty air, you'll need to prune your tree in the early spring to prevent limb breakage. Prune the weakest branches, including any dead or diseased branches.

Silver Maple Tree
Awesome tree's and quick delivery.
Hopeful Arrival...
The tree is alive so far. It took a beating in shipping. So far it has survived. The excessive heat took a toll on it, but we think it will recover.
Tree review
From the time of purchase to shipment was relatively quick. When the box was delivered it was well packaged and in good condition. We purchased a 7’ tree and it’s already growing. This was our first experience with this company and we’ve been impressed!
