Siting This Tree

It can handle both wet and dry locations but excels in wetter areas where the root stock can take up lots of water and push top growth. In areas with partial shade such as afternoon shade and full morning sun this tree will develop a slightly better branching structure as opposed to the full sun. Furthermore, in some examples where this tree has been planted in nearly full shade it will have almost a pristine Red Maple branch angle as the forest helps to self prune this tree.

Considerations

Left to its own devices in the full sun in someone’s yard it will become a multi-stemmed tree with poor branch angles that will tear out in a storm as it reaches a mature height. However, taking care of these trees through our Tree Stewardship Program and beyond can change the narrative on this tree’s biggest knock of having poor branch structure.
