She had better be prepared to go out and give the tree a lot
of water this summer. Hard to tell from the ebay what the
size is, but given the price it should be pretty large already.
So it will probably need around 100 litres of water per week
until leaf drop, if you plan it now.
Its a 6 foot tree
I think it's too expensive then, but who knows?
If I were you I'd look for another source, this is not
a rare maple.
And we will actually be planting it abt 60 miles from
where we live now
So, you don't want high maintenance. Plant it this fall,
put down agricultural fleece around and a heavy mulch,
it will be fine.
Not saying it's not possible to plant this close to leafing
out, just not the best thing to give it a good start.
