Soft maple
Acer saccharinum
Soft maple is a fast-growing deciduous shade tree that performs best in moist, well-drained soil with partial to full sun. Water deeply every 1-2 weeks and mulch around the base to retain soil moisture and protect shallow roots. Prune in late summer or fall to maintain shape and remove weak or crossing branches.
