Buying a Smaller, Affordable October Glory Maple

Container-Grown Is the Way

For zone 5 (Southern Adirondacks), buy a container-grown October Glory maple (5–15 gallon pot) from a local nursery or reputable online source. It costs far less than a 15-foot B&B tree.

Planting for Success

1. Hole: Twice container width and depth.
2. Backfill: Potting mix or amended native soil.
3. Mulch: 3 inches, wide ring.
4. Water: 1 inch weekly for first two seasons.
