Planting & Care

Planting and Care Guide

Where to Plant

The Hot Wings™ Tatarian Maple thrives in full sun to partial shade. It does best with at least six hours of direct sunlight per day to maximize its vibrant colors.

Soil Preferences

Adapts to a wide range of soils, from clay to sandy loam.

Tolerates both acidic and alkaline soil conditions.

Prefers well-draining soil, but it can handle occasional wet conditions.

Watering Needs

Water regularly during the first year to help establish strong roots.

Once established, it is drought-tolerant and requires minimal supplemental watering.

Mulching around the base helps retain soil moisture and regulate temperature.

Pruning and Maintenance

Minimal pruning is required – simply remove dead or damaged branches as needed.

If shaping is desired, prune in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges.

Resistant to common maple pests, meaning less maintenance than other maple varieties.

Why Choose Our Hot Wings Tatarian Maples?

Healthy Roots for Reliable Establishment: Some growers ship bare-root trees or use undersized containers, which often leads to transplant shock or root-bound plants that struggle after planting. We grow our Hot Wings™ Tatarian Maples in large, soil-filled containers, giving them well-developed root systems that establish quickly and grow vigorously.

True-to-Type Trees for Brilliant Color and Performance: Low-quality nurseries may propagate from seed, resulting in inconsistent growth habits and color. Our Hot Wings™ Tatarian Maples are propagated from proven parent trees to ensure the vibrant red samaras, dense branching, and reliable form that make this variety so popular for ornamental landscapes.

Grown with Consistent Care for Health and Beauty: We take the time to fertilize regularly and monitor for pests, producing healthy, pest-free trees that are ready to thrive. Our attention to detail ensures your Hot Wings™ Tatarian Maple will grow strong and deliver year-round beauty—especially those eye-catching red seed clusters in summer.

Support a Small, Family-Owned Nursery: When you buy from us, you’re supporting a small, family-run nursery dedicated to growing high-quality trees. We offer personal care and attention you won’t find at big box stores, and we stand behind every tree we sell.

Hot Wings™ Tatarian Maple – A Showstopper for Your Landscape

The Hot Wings™ Tatarian Maple (Acer tataricum 'GarAnn') is a standout ornamental tree that brings year-round interest to your landscape. This small to medium-sized maple is celebrated for its vibrant red samaras (winged seeds)that appear in summer, resembling fiery blossoms against its lush green foliage. With a naturally symmetrical shape and compact size, it is an excellent choice for urban gardens, small yards, or as a striking focal point in larger landscapes.

If you’re looking for a tree that offers seasonal beauty, adaptability, and low maintenance, the Hot Wings™ Tatarian Maple is a perfect fit. Its brilliant fall color, hardy nature, and resistance to pests and diseases make it a superior alternative to more common maples.

What Makes the Hot Wings™ Tatarian Maple Special?

  1. Bright Red Samaras in Summer – Unlike other maples, this variety produces stunning, vivid red winged seedsthat contrast beautifully against its green summer foliage.
  2. Compact and Manageable Size – Typically reaching 15 to 20 feet tall and wide, it’s perfect for small yards, patios, and urban landscapes.
  3. Brilliant Fall Color – The foliage turns a rich blend of red, orange, and yellow in autumn, creating a breathtaking seasonal display.
  4. Cold Hardy and Heat Tolerant – Thrives in USDA zones 3 to 9, handling cold winters and hot summers better than many other maples.
  5. Low Maintenance – Requires minimal pruning and resists most common pests and diseases.
  6. Adaptable to Various Soils – Grows well in clay, loam, and sandy soils, tolerating both acidic and alkaline conditions.
  7. Drought Tolerant Once Established – While it appreciates regular watering, it can withstand dry periods once its roots are well-developed.

A Stunning Maple for Every Season

  • Spring – As the tree wakes up in spring, bright green leaves emerge, giving your landscape a fresh and lively appearance. Small, yellow-white flowers bloom in clusters, attracting early-season pollinators.
  • Summer – The Hot Wings™ Maple earns its name in summer when it produces striking red samaras (winged seeds). These bright red clusters contrast beautifully against the deep green foliage, creating an eye-catching spectacle.
  • Fall – As temperatures cool, the foliage turns from green to a fiery mix of red, orange, and yellow, adding warmth and vibrancy to your autumn landscape.
  • Winter – Even in winter, the attractive branching structure provides visual interest, making it a great choice for adding structure to your garden.

Why Choose the Hot Wings™ Maple Over Other Small Trees?

  • Better Color Than Other Tatarian Maples – The unique red samaras are a bold contrast that most other Tatarian maples don’t provide.
