Red maple, acer rubrum v.60 h.400-500

The red maple requires full or partial light, well drained, moist soil, and occasional pruning. You should select a naturally damp area to plant your tree, requiring frequent and attentive watering. It is a tremendous seed producer and the seeds do not have very many requirements to germinate. Red maple seeds can germinate in shade, but shading can prevent germination until the second year. Mature trees are moderately tolerant of shade.
