What soil is best for growing maple trees?

Maple trees have low requirements for soil fertility, but they grow better in soil rich in humus, because humus-rich soil can provide a large amount of nutrients needed for maple trees to grow, which can promote the luxuriant branches and leaves of maple trees and improve the resistance of maple trees.

Maple soil

Maple trees are suitable for planting in soil that is fertile, rich in humus, has a relatively deep soil layer, strong drainage capacity, and convenient irrigation. Maple trees grow better in slightly acidic or neutral soils, but maple trees are not suitable for growing in alkaline soils.

Maple tree soil preparation method

Maple trees can be grown in culture soil prepared with leaf mold and river sand. Note that bone meal should be added at the bottom of the soil as base fertilizer. Garden soil, leaf mold and sandy soil can also be used to prepare the culture soil. After the culture soil is prepared, attention should be paid to disinfection, which can effectively eliminate microorganisms in the soil.

Maple tree soil replacement

The best time to change the soil for maple trees is in spring or autumn. When changing the soil, you need to change the pot because changing the pot can provide the maple tree with more space to grow.

Before changing the soil, the soil must be disinfected in time to prevent the presence of pathogens, microorganisms, etc. Also, when changing the soil, dead roots, old roots, and other unhealthy roots must be cut off.
