Embrace the Magic of Maple Trees

As the vivid colors of summer begin to fade and autumn's cool breeze sweeps in, it's the ideal time to explore the enchanting world of maple trees. Maple trees, known for their striking fall foliage, offer an irresistible opportunity to enhance your garden or landscape. In this blog post, we'll delve into why October and November are prime months for investing in maple trees, drawing inspiration from our Maple Buyer, Julie, who beautifully sums up their allure.

Invest in Fall Foliage

"Maples are most gorgeous when most other plants are dying back," says Julie. Their leaves transform into a breathtaking tapestry of red, orange, and yellow hues during October. Imagine the serene atmosphere these vibrant colors could create in your garden or on your porch.

Planting in October: The Dormancy Advantage

Fall is the ideal time to plant maples, as they begin to enter dormancy (lose their foliage). Planting now allows them to establish roots before winter, ensuring a strong start in spring.

Planning Ahead

Even if you're not ready to plant, now is the perfect time to visit West Seattle Nursery and admire the maple foliage. Our experts are ready to help you find the perfect maple for your yard.

Urban-Friendly Shallow Roots

This fall, embrace the allure of maple trees. Whether you're ready to plant or simply want to appreciate their fall beauty, these trees offer a touch of serenity and natural splendor. Julie's wisdom reminds us that maples are not just a garden investment; they are an investment in the peace and beauty of your outdoor space. Consider making maples a part of your landscape, and watch your garden come alive with their vibrant hues and calming presence.
