Exposure Sycamore mapleSole pieno
The Sycamore maple should be grown outdoors; it can bear very harsh temperatures without any problems, even many degrees below zero. With a particularly windy climate we suggest securing young trees to long solid stakes, to avoid that the wind could bare young and not very developed roots; specimens which are only a few years old might fear intense cold and wind.The Sycamore maple should be grown in a bright place, with direct sunlight.

Generalities Sycamore maple
The Sycamore maple develops in an erect manner and, as the years go by, becomes a tree. The Sycamore maple is medium in size and 25 m in height; in the spring it assumes a green colouring. These plants aren't evergreens, which means they lose their leaves some months during the year. These plants have an erect development; in the lower part they usually show a bare stem, while towards the top they widen to form the crown.

Fertilization Sycamore maple
Tree fertilization should be done at the beginning of the spring or of autumn, using humus or mature manure; this should be done by mixing a few buckets of fertilizer to the ground, around the trunk of the tree, every 2-3 years or when the tree implanted.

Watering Sycamore mapleTenere Umido
During this period of the year the The Sycamore maple needs regular watering, which should be done letting the soil dry between one watering and the other; let’s irrigate every 2-3 weeks with about 2-3 buckets of water . We advise watering the young specimens, or the recently sheltered ones; the adult specimens usually are satisfied with rain water.

Treatments Sycamore maple
Generally during this time of year we suggest a pre-emptive treatment with wide range insecticide and with a systemic fungicide, to prevent the attack from part of the aphids and the development of fungus diseases, often favoured by a mild and damp climate.

Soil Sycamore maple
We suggest a pretty rich, quite soft, but not too drained, growing substratum.
