How do I take care of my young maple tree?
Last spring, I have brought a 5 foot maple tree from forest, and planted it near my driveway. The first summer, the tree did fine, closer to the fall, instead of having bright yellow or red leaves, they just faded and fell off. I have fertilized the tree all last year, winter and spring.
This year, the leaves are much bigger and much more plentiful. The tree has grown about 4 inches.
So here are my questions.
1. How can I make the tree grow faster taller? (There are still tiny, undeveloped leaves on the ends of the branches)
2. How can I make my maple have vibrant colors in leaves during the fall?
3. In general, any treatments that would make my maple have a better life?
