Planting: \u003c\/strong\u003eAllow lots of room for your Autumn Blaze\u003cspan\u003e®\u003c\/span\u003e Maple to grow. Also, select a location with full sun (6 to 8 hours of sunlight per day) and well-drained soil. When you're ready to plant, dig a hole that's twice as wide and just as deep as the root ball. Place the Autumn Blaze\u003cspan\u003e®\u003c\/span\u003e Maple inside, holding it straight, and cover with soil. Tamp down as you fill to avoid any air pockets from forming, and water the planting site and cover with mulch to conserve soil moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2. Watering: \u003c\/strong\u003eRainwater should be enough but in times of drought, or heat, you may want to add a little extra watering to your usual routine. If you're not sure when to water, simply check the soil about 2 inches down - if the soil is dry at this depth, it's time to water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3. Fertilizing: \u003c\/strong\u003eAutumn Blaze\u003cspan\u003e®\u003c\/span\u003e Maples typically do best when nitrogen levels are high; therefore, look for fertilizer bags that have high first numbers, such as 16-4-8 or 12-4-8 formula combinations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4. Pruning: \u003c\/strong\u003ePrune maple trees during winter or early spring before bud break, when they are fully dormant. This helps minimize stress on the tree and reduces the risk of disease transmission. Maples can bleed sap heavily if pruned during the growing season (spring and summer). Remove dead or broken branches first. Next, thin out the canopy to allow\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003efor better light and air circulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv tabindex=\"0\" data-item-key=\"1705084606.817799\" data-qa=\"virtual-list-item\" id=\"C02C2K36735-1705080816.240809-thread-list-Thread_1705084606.817799\" role=\"listitem\" class=\"c-virtual_list__item\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-mce-tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-qa-placeholder=\"false\" data-qa-unprocessed=\"false\" data-qa=\"message_container\" class=\"c-message_kit__background c-message_kit__message c-message_kit__thread_message\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-qa-hover=\"true\" class=\"c-message_kit__hover\" aria-roledescription=\"message\" role=\"document\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"c-message_kit__actions c-message_kit__actions--default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"c-message_kit__gutter\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-qa=\"message_content\" class=\"c-message_kit__gutter__right\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"c-message_kit__blocks c-message_kit__blocks--rich_text\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-qa=\"message-text\" class=\"c-message__message_blocks c-message__message_blocks--rich_text\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-qa=\"block-kit-renderer\" class=\"p-block_kit_renderer\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p-block_kit_renderer__block_wrapper p-block_kit_renderer__block_wrapper--first\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\" class=\"p-rich_text_block\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p-rich_text_section\"\u003eLook for large branches growing at narrow angles to the main trunk, branches that are rubbing others or branches that are growing inwards and crossing others.  Do not remove more than 30% of the living canopy per pruning to minimize stress.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow big do Autumn Blaze Maple Trees get?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- faq --\u003e Autumn Blaze Maples grow to be around 40-50 feet tall and 30-40 feet wide at maturity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- faq --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo Autumn Blaze Maples have invasive roots?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- faq --\u003e No, while the Autumn Blaze Maple is a larger tree and therefore has a larger root system, the roots are not considered invasive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- faq --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat size is best for me?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- faq --\u003e Autumn Blaze Maples reach a mature height of about 40 to 50 feet after approximately 15 to 20 years.
