This tree can put on several feet of growth each year, so plant it where its broad canopy can develop fully. Water regularly during the first few years to establish deep roots, then allow the tree to thrive on its own. Mulch the base to conserve moisture and protect roots. Minimal pruning is needed, but shaping young trees can help create a balanced, long-lived structure. Use Autumn Blaze to anchor large gardens or to create long avenues of color that turn heads every fall.
