A new gardening question of the day appears every day of the year on the front page of Almanac.com. Below is the answer to one of the questions from our Gardening Questions and Answers Archive where you can find over 400 more gardening questions (with answers!).
When is it best to plant silver maple trees? Do they grow fast?
As soon as the frost is out of the ground in spring is the best time to plant these trees. The soil is moist, the climate is mild, and the trees can establish themselves quickly. With a full growing season ahead, they'll get a head start on competing weeds and brush. Planting any forest tree in the fall is often less successful.
