Considering A Maple Tree?
from: Lawn and Garden MagicTheyt are a national symbol, the inspiration for a sports team, and the only flavor of syrup a breakfast can't do without. Maple is the most popular product of an equally popular plant.
What makes the Maple tree physically unique is the shape of its leaves. Their five-edged foliage has long graced the face of the Canadian flag, of course and it's light green color is most radiant during the spring, which heralds the end of the cold months.
However, the bark of these trees are also of importance. Their bark produces sturdy, great textured wood that many furniture manufacturers and homeowners prefer.
Landscape artists have also developed a profound fascination with the Maple tree. It's sheer beauty is hard to dismiss, and the color of its bark and stems as well as the radiant glow its foliage can provides serves as a perfect complement to any lawn or garden.
However, there can be problems with the maintenance of a Maple tree. For example:
* Maple trees are highly deciduous. They shed their leaves very frequently and they're not really a good choice for backyards with water gardens or swimming pools. And if you still decide to plant, or transplant, a sapling in your garden, you'd have to commit yourself to regular cleanups that will require you to deal with piles upon piles of fallen leaves.
* This tree type is very dependent on the quality of the soil where it's planted, or transplanted. Soil with 5.5. pH level is often required (depending on the prevailing climatic conditions. Maples are, after all, cold weather trees). Additionally, the soil should also possess excellent water retention qualities. Mulching is definitely recommended to help the soil keep water against evaporation, especially during the warmer months.
* The soil needs regular fertilization. It should be fed with proper nutrients so it can feed the maple with the nutrients it needs for optimal health and development.
There's much to love about Maple tress, but they demand a lot of love and care. If you're able to invest your efforts and your heart for these beautiful trees, you're sure to give your lawn or garden a great landscaping lift that could transform it into the envy of the entire neighborhood.
