Maple trees come in a wide range of types or forms from smaller growing dwarf species to large trees. Maple trees are used widely in landscape works as well as in the home garden. Nearly all maple trees are deciduous and are generally a fairly hardy long lived tree. Generally Maple trees prefer a humus rich moist but well drained soil. Maple trees prefer a temperate climate and are readily available for sale as both bare rooted trees (during winter) and as potted plants.
