Have fertilized on a couple occasions. The scarlet maple has yet to produce even a tiny leaf. Its still a stick. I'm hoping soon to see some results. Will let you know if and when it decides to do something. Maybe my rating on this tree will go up then.  -  Saturday, May 19, 2007 Yet to Produce Reviewed By: Anita Exum (Plant City, Florida) I bought this tree about a month ago and so far it hasn't even sprouted a green leaf, its still a stick. I'm hoping soon it will produce with beautiful results, when it does produce a green leaf I will rate this higher.  -  Tuesday, November 13, 2007 Half good half bad! Reviewed By: Mark Arceneaux (, Delcambre) Half good half bad!  -  Wednesday, April 30, 2008 Scarlet Maple Reviewed By: Anita (Plant City, Florida) I have had my two trees for about a year now. The review I wrote saying I was disappointed was removed. So this is a follow up from that. Its at the end of April and after 2 weeks leaving the water hose constantly running on the trees they have finally sprouted leaves again. They were full of leaves last year but when winter hit the leaves all fell off. I won't be ordering any more because they require way too much watering.  -  Friday, May 25, 2007 Replacement A Charm Reviewed By: Erin Sokolowski (Eau Claire, Wisconsin) I ordered this tree last year and it never grew a leaf or even budded! I wrote to Gurney's because of the 1 year replacement guarantee. They sent my replacement over a month ago and it is sprouting leaves like crazy! I think the best thing to do is to get it planted immediately upon arrival. We waited 2 days last year but who knows how long it was sitting at the USPS! You also have to be very diligent about watering. We give it a gallon of water a day unless it's raining. I expect this tree to do very well! The only reason I'm not giving it a 5 star is because of the 1st tree being dead and I don't know if this tree will continue doing well. I hope to update in a couple of years.
