Our Impact
Over the past two decades, Maple Leaves Forever has supported the planting of over 134,800 Native Canadian Maple trees!
That’s equivalent to 1,241 km (771 miles) of maple-lined Ontario roadside, more than the driving distance from Huntsville to Thunder Bay!
MLF also sponsors the following environmental & tree planting initiatives: Ontario Envirothon, One Bench One Tree, Grand Trees Climate Change Solutions and Highway of Heroes Tribute.
Summer Maple Care
- new planting (container grown and B&B) – water slowly & deeply to get water down to the roots, clear surrounding weeds, add mulch & stake (if necessary)
- water newly planted & established maples as needed, frequency will increase during hot, dry conditions
- consider using tree watering bags to reduce risk of water stress
- fertilize established trees as recommended, but not newly planted trees
- monitor for presence of insects or other pests
- check for seed development on mature sugar maple trees if interested in harvesting or know of others interested in collecting sugar maple seed (seed matures in mid/late September)
- the recommended time for pruning young maples is mid-July through early August
Maple Leaves Forever is pleased to provide a complete seasonal guide to maple tree planting and ongoing care!
