Super great trees

I purchased 3 of these trees. One 3 years ago and 2 more 2 years ago. They are doing well. It is important to prune these trees as they grow or you’ll have low limbs you can’t walk under. My oldest tree got antlered this past fall quite badly. I paint d it with a bark saver and wrapped it. It’s beginning to bud out so it has survived. Should I remove the wrap now?

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHi! We’re glad to hear your trees are thriving and that the damaged one is recovering. Since it’s starting to bud and temperatures are warming, it’s a good time to remove the wrap so you can monitor the trunk and allow for proper airflow. For further guidance, feel free to contact us.

Life goes on

The tree is doing very well, this is my husband in the picture. Unfortunately is passed away in October of 2025, so I am happy to have this sweet reminder of the tree we planted together and will be able to look back on good times in our home!

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHi Barbara, We’re deeply sorry for your lost. It’s truly special that it can continue to represent those cherished memories.

Autumn Blaze Maple

So far so good. The winter weather was harsh with the ice storms we had . Hopefully it didn’t hurt it. I haven’t seen any buds yet though. Last fall it was in pretty good shape.
