Not Yet Producing
Reviewed By: Anita Exum (Plant City, Florida)
I planted the scarlet maple over a month ago. 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.

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.
