Sugar Maple is a large, long-lived deciduous tree, typically reaching 60 to 75 feet tall with a spread of 40 to 50 feet, though it can grow taller under ideal conditions. It develops a dense, rounded crown, making it a classic choice for shade, specimen plantings, and large landscapes.
Sugar Maple thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soils rich in organic matter. It does not tolerate compacted soils, salt, or urban pollution well, so it’s best suited for rural settings, parks, or large residential landscapes with room to grow.
Sugar Maple is famous for its brilliant fall foliage, displaying vibrant shades of orange, red, and yellow—often on the same tree. It’s considered one of the most beautiful native trees for autumn color in the eastern U.S.
Sugar Maple is relatively low-maintenance once established, needing only occasional pruning to remove dead or crowded branches. It is not deer-resistant—young trees may need protection from browsing in areas with high deer populations. Once mature, it is generally left alone.
Absolutely! Sugar Maple provides early spring nectar for bees and supports a wide range of native caterpillars, which are vital food for songbirds. Its large canopy offers shade and shelter, and its seeds (samaras) are eaten by squirrels, chipmunks, and birds.
