-Look up Stand in the spot where you want to plant the tree and look up. Make sure nothing is in the way — Autumn Blazes can grow to be 50 feet tall.
-Look for shade Look for shade that still allows some sunlight. The tree will grow better in a partially shaded area.
-Feel the soil Feel the soil. The Autumn Blaze requires moist but well-draining soil. Even though the tree is relatively drought tolerant, plant it in an area that you can water during a dry spell.
-Measure out 20 feet Measure 20 feet from the nearest building or other tall tree. The Autumn Blaze has a tendency to spread up to 40 feet in diameter.
-Consider shallow roots Consider the impact of its shallow and sometimes surface root system. Chances are this tree is a good choice for just about anywhere you want to plant it.
