Replacing pine trees with maples
I am having several western cedar pine trees removed in my yard as
they've grown massively out of control and are too close to the house. I would like to plant a maple variety in the same general area. Is there any special preparation I need to do, in consideration of the soil content? The pH is likely relatively low. Also, what time of year should I consider planting new trees? I am in the pacific northwest, so the temperature doesn't get cold, it just rains. Thanks in advance. -Greg |

Thanks in advance. -Greg Numerous garden writers over the years have put certain maples in the same category as child molesters and nuclear war. Norway maples, if I recall, will have a root system which makes it impossible to plant ANYTHING under them. You might want to research this a bit more. Call your cooperative extension service and get LOTS of information. Do you know what that service is? |

They should do fine. |

Since this is close to the house, you may want to invest in three
different types of Japanese Maples all having different colors.
