Success Starts With Soil

Legacy® Maple is a distinguished sugar maple cultivar prized for its strong, symmetrical oval crown and glossy, dark-green foliage that stays attractive all season.

In autumn, the tree transforms with brilliant shades of orange-red to red, delivering a spectacular fall display. With its refined shape, dependable foliage, and outstanding seasonal color, Legacy® Maple makes a striking choice for streetscapes, parks, and home landscapes alike.

Growing Tips for Acer saccharum 'Legacy®'

Thrives best in full sun in well-drained, moist soils. It displays good tolerance of dry spells thanks to its tougher leaves, though regular watering during prolonged drought will help performance. Minimal maintenance is required beyond ensuring good soil conditions and occasional pruning to maintain its shape. Mulching helps retain soil moisture and reduces weed competition.
