Planting a Red Maple

Tips, Tricks

1. have a picture of your tree now?
2. I bet this example produced Advantageous girdling root growth after its original surface roots needing oxygen exchange with atmosphere were smothered by Mulch Mounding, which when decomposing, steels oxygen away b4 getting to roots, along with Nitrogen for the process. To avoid the inevitable, pull 2 inch blanket of mulch back away from trunk some 6 to 12 inches. 4"+ high Doughnut ring mulching just as bad. When installing by bare root method, remove all root balls fine roots rather than tree relying on human to spread them out correctly.
3. Can i plant this in INDONESIA ? Would it be Grow up ?
   Anyone have any tips ? Please ? And where i can buy the seed?
4. Hi, I have a Japanese maple seedlings, just wonder if it would be better if I planted in ground or pot? I understand that young trees should be grown in ground but would it be better if I want to develop a thick base to place them in nursery pot considering they are still very young and might die from harsh winter?(I live in zone 5)
5. Does the horizontal root growth concept apply to all trees or mostly just these maples?  Natually I wouldn't create a post-hole.  I'd create a "bowl" type hole, twice the diameter of the rootball but I'd dig deeper than you did and point roots down as well as to the side.
6. This video was 7 years ago! you should make another video to see how big it is now. That would be cool!
7. Making videos is a lot better when you have someone handling the camera, you know so you can actually give a solid video of everything you did.
8. Nice video, thanks for sharing how u plant your trees. Also in your opinion I have one that is growing well but is leaning bad, what would u do to it to help it? ...plus it is too close to a fence.  I think it is still small enough to possibly remove and straighten? Thanks for the video.
9. How the red maple doing after seven years?
10. Besides that though everything seems to be done correctly. 
11. You want to keep the soil off the trunk of the tree buddy. By putting the soil on the bark you're going to rot the tree. 
12. I planted 7 trees this year around my house, knowing that I would be moving some place else next year. Hopefully the next family can enjoy
13. “A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in.”
14. @ajmhabel It is doing really good. And I have trained it to have one dominant stem in the middle. It is 15' tall now.
15. How is the Red Maple doing after 3-4 years, do you have any pics or videos?
16. Yes, the leaves are designed to take the sun and the heat. If you have a part of the tree that is exposed, with no leafy shade, the branches can be 'sunburnt'. Exposed roots especially. Cover those roots. They are even more sensitive to drying and sun exposure, that is what mulch is for.
17. amazing!!! Please take a vid!!! Could you send me a leaf??? Please,,,,, it would be very important for me... that's posible???? Sorry my english!
18. This tree is doing very well, it is growing about 18" every year, (1/2 meter) The roots and trunk are very strong, no looseness when I move the trunk back and forth. It is well established, it has been in the ground for 18 months or so. The leaves are turning color right now. I should take a vid.
19. How is the tree today? I love maple!!! but I'm from brazil.. and here I can't have one... beautiful tree! Greetings from Brazil
20. The best time of year to plant is winter. Dormant season. Don't let the roots get dry and exposed to sun. This will kill the tree in one day! You want to water around the base of the tree at first, saturating it well then later start watering out at the "Drip line". That is the outer perimeter of the root zone. Over watering in poor draining soil can also "Drown" a tree, not good.
