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.
