Red Maple – A Popular Deciduous Tree

Why Red Maple (Acer Rubrum)?

The red maple is one of the most widespread deciduous trees in the eastern and central United States. It has a pleasant oval form that proliferates and has stronger wood than most soft maples. As the tree matures, its smooth and gray bark becomes wrinkled, scaly, and dark gray. The leaves are medium-green in the spring and summer, changing to a red-orange hue in the fall. Its blooms are pinkish-red and grow in drooping clusters, while its fruits are paired clusters of winged seeds.

 

The leaves, bark, and sap of these maples contain biological compounds that may fight inflammation, the underlying root cause of many diseases.

 

Red maples provide food, shade, and nesting habitat for wildlife while squirrels and other rodents consume the fruits, rabbits, and deer consume the delicate shoots and leaves.

 

The red maple tree is used to treat eye disorders and as a drying agent, but scientific data does not support its treatment for any condition.

Pollination Information

Pollination of Red Maple Tree (2-3 Foot) (Acer rubrum):

Red Maple is dioecious, meaning it has separate male and female flowers on different trees. The small red flowers, called inflorescences, appear in early spring before the leaves emerge. Male trees produce clusters of red flowers, while female trees produce less conspicuous flowers. Wind plays a crucial role in the pollination process, as it carries the pollen from the male flowers to the female flowers. Once pollinated, the female flowers develop into winged samaras, commonly known as "helicopter seeds," which are dispersed by the wind in late spring or early summer. The successful pollination and seed production make Red Maple an essential tree for supporting local ecosystems and providing food for various wildlife species.

Fertilization

Fertilization

It is generally recommended to wait to fertilize a bare root plant until it has been established in the ground and is actively growing. This can vary depending on the type of plant and the growing conditions, but it is generally best to wait at least a few weeks to a few months after planting.

During the first year, you should focus on providing the plant with the right amount of water, sunlight and soil to help it become established. Once the plant has become established and is actively growing, you can begin to fertilize it.

You can use a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer or one that is specifically formulated for the type of plant you have. Be sure to follow the instructions on the fertilizer package and apply it at the recommended rate.

It is also important to note that over-fertilizing can be harmful to plants, so it's always best to error on the side of caution and start with a lower amount of fertilizer and increase as needed.
