Hi..we're considering buying several large October Glory clump Maples
and I'm hoping someone can help with a couple of quick questions..

- Are these good for hard (clay) soil and a lot of sun?

- How tall and wide do they get?

- Are they strong trees? Suscepible to wind?

- Do these have traditional Maple "helicopter" seeds? (The landscape
guy is trying to tell us they don't, but I thought all Maples got
these and they get everywhere & make a heckuva mess?)

We live in Michigan (Detroit area) and want to make sure it's a good
investment as they're fairly expensive ($700 each, planted - but they
are big, specimen trees and will provide us instant screening).

Thanks!

Jim
