Irrigation Sycamore mapleTenere asciutto
We advise watering the young specimens, or the recently sheltered ones; the adult specimens usually are satisfied with rain water. Watering takes place only when the soil has been dry for days, usually every 4-5 weeks can be enough; if the climate is particularly hot we can slightly intensify the irrigations, using 1-2 buckets of water .

Care Sycamore maple

The Sycamore maple is large in size and 17 m in height; in the autumn it assumes a redpink colouring. These plants aren't evergreens, which means they lose their leaves some months during the year. The Sycamore maple develops in an erect manner and, as the years go by, becomes a tree.
