The first time that you should fertilize your Red maple is during the late winter or early spring. This type of fertilization gives your Red maple all the nutrients it needs to resume healthy growth once the weather gets warm enough.
It is also beneficial to many Red maple to provide an additional fertilizer feeding during early fall if you in a warm climate region. Fertilizing in early fall not only adds additional nutrients to the soil, which your Red maple will use in the following growing season, but it also helps your Red maple be a bit more hardy and capable of surviving the winter cold without experiencing foliage damage. Earlier fertilisation will ensure that the new branches have enough time to grow to withstand the cold winter.
