Question
Hi, Tom.

Thanks for answering my question.  I read your answer to another question about growing red maples from seeds at this link: http://en.allexperts.com/q/Trees-739/2008/5/red-maple-1.htm  That was a good, detailed answer.  
Anyway, I am in South Central Kansas (growing zone 6) and I was wondering how I would grow a sugar maple tree from seed here in S.C. KS?  And could I apply those same techniques to growing a red maple in this part of the State?

Thanks,
Tim

Answer
Hi Tim,
Thanx for your question.  Absolutely, you can and should use the same methods I wrote about in some of my previous answers.  Sugar maples will grow in Kansas.  While the tree is young, you should make sure you give it a good soaking once a week as you know how hot and dry our summers can be and you don't want to stress the tree out.  Also, I would get some fertilizer spikes for trees from your local nursery or DIY after you have transplanted the sapling outdoors to its permanent growing spot.  I hope this helps.
Tom
