Dig a planting hole two to three times wider than the root ball, backfill with native soil, and water thoroughly to remove air pockets. Apply mulch around the base to conserve moisture and reduce weeds. Water deeply once weekly during the first two years; once established, the tree needs water mainly during extended dry periods. Light pruning in late winter helps maintain shape and remove dead wood—focus on developing a strong central leader rather than heavy trimming. Young trees benefit from balanced fertilizer applied in early spring, but established specimens typically need no supplemental feeding.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Florida Plant Nursery","offers":[{"title":"4-5 ft.","offer_id":45814257483962,"sku":"30373","price":563.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/3520\/4026\/files\/green-mountain-sugar-maple-tree.jpg?v=1777509717","url":"https:\/\/floridaplantnursery.com\/products\/green-mountain-sugar-maple-tree","provider":"Florida Plant Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
