How to plant red maple trees

1. Time Selection

Red maple trees can be planted in spring from March to May, or in autumn from September to October. The climate in these two time periods is very suitable, and the temperature can be stably maintained above 20 degrees, which is very beneficial for later planting and growth.

2. Prepare the soil

Suitable soil is the basis for growth. You need to choose loose, fertile sandy soil with an acidic pH value. If it is potted planting, you need to prepare suitable soil in advance. You can use leaf mold, garden soil, sandy soil, and base fertilizer to meet the elements required for growth. After the soil is prepared, it is not used directly for planting. It needs to be disinfected and exposed to the sun, or watered with fungicides, which can also have a disinfecting effect.

3. Seed Processing

The seeds of the red maple tree will mature in September and October. You can pick the seeds at this time, remove the shriveled ones, and place them in the sun to dry and remove the moisture inside. After that, store them in a cool, ventilated and dry place. When you are ready to sow them next year, process the seeds, soak them in cold water, and take them out after soaking for a day. This will help promote germination.

4. Sowing and Planting

After preparing the soil, sow the seeds into it, cover them with soil to promote germination, and wait for the seedlings to grow.
