Sugar Maple will grow in most soils but does not like wet conditions. It also grows well in shade, so if you have large trees on your property already, the Sugar Maple will develop even under the shade of other existing deciduous trees, making it ideal for planting in established gardens. Tough and hardy in the coldest areas, the Sugar Maple has to be the number one choice for that special tree in your front or back yard.
