Also know, how far apart should Autumn Blaze maple trees be planted?
If possible, space the trees between 40 and50feet apart for the best root and canopy spacing.Inaddition, the maples' stability in the soil may alsobecompromised with improper spacing -- they need strong anddeeproots to remain upright during gusty days.
Beside above, how far apart should trees be planted? Trees are often spaced apart accordingtotheir mature canopy spread. Tree spacings of 50 to 60feetare common place. This allows the open grown form ofthetree to develop (lower photo). There are also niceexamplesof trees in urban and suburban landscapes spacedmuch closer(upper photos).
