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.

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.
