Why plant Fall Fiesta Sugar Maple?
Get this party started! The Fall Fiesta® Sugar Maple is a celebration of autumn with its jubilant fall foliage display. When the days become crisp and cool, its leaves heat up, turning a brilliant red-orange, like those of the best of the Sugar Maples. It’s an event you’ll look forward to each year. During the rest of the season, Fall Fiesta® will provide welcome shade for picnicking, grilling out, and for all your outdoor get-togethers. Every year this long-lived legacy tree will grow in beauty and stature, becoming more impressive and adding value to your home.
Fall Fiesta® originated as a seedling that outperformed its siblings. Max Lamis of Bailey Nursery in Yamhill, Oregon, raised a crop of Sugar Maple seedlings using seed from the University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum. Fall Fiesta® emerged as superior to its siblings and to other Sugar Maples on the market on several accounts. Most notably, it was found to be a more vigorous grower than other selections, growing as much as two feet per year. The new tree was also discovered to have an especially thick, waxy coating on the leaves, enabling them to hold up better in summer heat and wind. And of course, the fall color was dynamite.

Hardiness Zones: 3-8
How To Plant Fall Fiesta Sugar Maple
Sugar Maples perform best in cool northern climates, although Fall Fiesta® is more forgiving than most of heat and humidity. It will be slower growing and have more of a yellow-orange fall color in the South. Plant this regal tree in full sun to light shade in rich, well-drained soil and water regularly. A layer of wood chips or shredded bark mulch will help keep the roots cool and moist. In most cases, Fall Fiesta® is not a great tree for the city, but in suburban and neighborhoods where the tree can stretch out its roots and isn’t bothered by pollution, it is stellar.
How To Water
Sugar Maples will appreciate regular water during its first few years in the ground and irrigation during long dry spells after it’s established.
How To Fertilize
Incorporate Elements Starter Plant Food granular form into the soil when planting. If planting in spring or summer, start fertilizing late fall using Elements Starter Plant food granular form on an annual basis each late fall. Continue this for the first three years to get your plant well established.
How To Prune
Sugar Maples in general don’t need a lot of attention when it comes to pruning as it is in their nature to grow in the round shape.
How Does Shipping Work?
Bower & Branch Trees, the real BIG trees, don’t fit in a box! Our big trees, sizes XL and bigger, require expert delivery and care, that means our extra-large trees are shipped on Bower & Branch trucks. We are the only ones who know how to ship our big and bigger trees and plants with tender loving care. We deliver your trees and plants directly to you. Ask Bower & Branch about planting services – we'd be happy to assist in installation.
*For Big trees and Shrubs, Size XL and bigger: Review our Seasonal Shipping Timelines and Policy here.
Your trees and plants are grown across the United States at various Bower & Branch Growers. Depending on your location, your plant orders may be shipped from various locations. Please expect orders with multiple items to be delivered over a number of days as a result. Orders made up of numerous items or selections will not arrive at your home on the same day.
Shipping Delays:
From time to time, Bower & Branch Growers may determine to delay order shipment based on various factors for plant health. Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.
How Does Sizing Work?
The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)
Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.
All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!

Customer Reviews
The Fall Fiesta Maple tree arrived in perfect condition. Straight and taller than I anticipated it's a beautiful tree. For me, it was well worth the price since it appears a few years old already. Can't wait until this spring when it leafs out. All family members are introduced to this beautiful specimen when they visit and are excited by its potential.
