Maple Trees

Costco Chika shared about “STUNNING” Japanese Red Maple trees at Costco. “Perfect for adding that calm, elevated look to your yard or patio,” they wrote, giving some care tips. “Partial shade is best (too much harsh sun can burn the leaves),” they say. Also, keep the soil “moist but not soggy—don’t let it fully dry out,” she adds. “Use well-draining soil if you’re planting or repotting. Protect from strong winds (their leaves are delicate!) A little mulch helps keep roots cool and happy.”
