I need a tree to replace a Bradford pear and a red oak. The Sugar maple should be a great replace for two trees. I hope

How many years until it can be tapped for syrup?
OrangeBlossom on Mar 9, 2016
BEST ANSWER: When the trunk is at least 10 inches in diameter, it is mature enough to safely tap. Depending on the environment, this can take many years (think double-digits). Knowing this, the sugar maple tree is often planted for the earlier benefit of fall color and shade, and the later benefit of maple syrup/sugar.
how fast does it grow?
vicki w on May 25, 2016
BEST ANSWER: Very slow grower, However, like oak, slow growers are longer living trees. Mine has grown about 6-8" in a year, but I am at 4500' elevation with a short growing season.
How long does it take for a Sugar Maple Tree to mature?
Stephanie C on Feb 17, 2016
BEST ANSWER: Thank you for your question! The Sugar Maple will typically take 50-80 years after planting to reach maturity.
I am a Biology major and love sugar maple trees! Is there anything I should add to the soil when planting a new maple tree?
Beth L on May 21, 2016
BEST ANSWER: Maple Trees will grow in sandy or clayey soil. The texture should be loose enough to allow roots to anchor the tree to its site. Avoid swamps, dry sandy ridges and thin rocky soil. Maple trees do not grow well in alkaline soil with PH over 7.3. The PH should range from 5.5 to 7.3. Actually they will tolerate soil PH down to 3.7. Mix in plenty of well rotted compost and aged manure. Fallen leaves will act as a soil enriching mulch. Good luck with your planting. Maybe you could start making Maple Syrup if you can find enough trees large enough to tap. My son and I started making Maple Syrup as a hobby and it has grown into a small business. It takes 40 gallons of Maple Sap to make 1 gallon of Maple Syrup. Richard Filmer.
Are there any fast-growing maple trees that do not produce helicopters in the spring?
Keith T on Mar 6, 2017
BEST ANSWER: Unfortunately unless its a maple bonsai all maple trees have seeds. they have a netting that yoe can hang under the tree that catches most not all (on a windy day).

All are growing
All three trees are growing...they look a bit weak, but we will see. Only one of the trees had leaves growing out of all of its buds, the rest only had very very little growth.

Dead tree
Unfortunately, even though my property grows sugar maples well with many in and around it, this sugar maple from Starks never seemed to grow at all. All recommendations were followed, but it was dead within the first growing season.

Tree in question dead.
I am sorry to report that my Maple tree has not survived. It didn't do very well last year, and this year did not leaf out at all. I am happy to report that the 6 dwarf apple tress have done nicely. They have rust, but that is due to a red cedar about 30 feet away and will be remedied this fall.
