I have a small amount of Sugar Maple seeds left

9 years ago

I have some Southern Sugar Maple seeds left. They are zone 5 Hardy according to the website. I got them from Schumachers seeds in Massachusetts. They are free of course, there aren't many left though. If I don't get a reply for a week, I'll find a place for them. Poaky1

How big will that tree get?

In good soil and no really harsh drought conditions, they get pretty huge. I would say comparable to an oak when given time. I will GUESS, 80 ft wide and 80 -100 ft tall. I am being very generous on these measurements, though. It will NOT be a small tree. The Sugar Maple is the only maple I will plant in my yard as a shade tree. Once my oaks and other shade trees get big, I just may want a Japanese maple, or some small shade loving maple THEN. Poaky1
