On May 30 2010, Robert-"wenatchee " stated that the Fall leaf colors of
maples vary with location. What determines the color ?
I have 2 red maples and i sugar which turn only yellow.
What can be done to increase likelihood of expected red colors ?

Fall color is controlled by tree genetics, outside temperature and soil minerals. Find out the answers to these questions, #1. do other maples in your area turn red or like your trees turn only yellow? #2. have these trees ever turned red? or only yellow?
If other similar trees in your area do turn red but yours do not then find out this - have your trees ever turned red? Maybe you know this and maybe you don't.
If other similar trees do turn red then and you are reasonably sure yours are a similar type then take a good look at your soil - have it analyzed.
Make sure your soil has plenty of iron and trace minerals. Many people fertilize but only use a fertilizer such as 15-2-8 fertilizer that has 15% nitrogen, 2% available phosphate and 8% soluble potash. Nitrogen, phosphate and potash are also sometimes referred to as N-P-K.
This is not the correct type of fertilizer for any tree. Trees need a fertilizer with complete micro nutrients and with as low a nitrogen level as you can find. Nitrogen will cause a big growth spurt and is not what you want for any tree.

I have a sugar maple tree that the bark is pulling away from the trunk. It is just falling off and I don't see any ants or anything. What is going on with it and what can I do with it. It started from a seed in our vegetable garden is now about 30 ft. tall.

There are kinds of maple trees that are native to Europe, China and Japan. I do not know the exact names though.

When I was a child, we called the 'seeds' keys, but nobody knows what I'm talking about when I say that. I have heard them called 'helicopters' but I'm curious as to the official name.

Hi
I recently moved into a house out in the country which has a large acacia tree in the back yard. It had not been lived in so the acacia has taken over, and I am slowly taking out all the growth spurts covering the yard. My question is regarding the fast growing maple trees. If I were to take out the acacia, and replace it with a fast growing maple, about how fast does it gain it's height? It would be best if I could get something within 20 feet as soon as possible to obtain the look of the yard my family would like.
Thanks

I suggest the October Glory Red Maple. See our maple tree store, we have them for sale there.

My husband and I are building a new home and trying to decide on the best maple trees for our yard. I did not see the Autumn Blaze Maple on your list. What do you know about it and what would you recommend for Kansas?

I appreciate your detailed information on the various maples. As I look out my family room window, I can see either black or sugar maples and I know that I have red maples because of the spring seeds. We have plenty of silver maples growing on the creek banks and some on the golf courses. I will consult with your site next spring to try and sort out my black and sugar maples. One thing that I did not see on your color chart page was reference to brilliant yellow fall colors. My dad had a native maple that was a brilliant yellow (Monroe County, Indiana).

Fall color is specific to location and species. Plant the tree in one location and it will be orange in fall, the same tree in another location will be yellow. Some Maples display mostly yellow such as the silver maple though I have seen them display orange fall color also but not as nice as a Sugar Maple or Red Maple.

I am sorry but the tree may well die and nothing may be done. You can try and call a tree surgeon but be careful as these guys will want to cut on the tree and will give you no guarantee it will live but will give you a big bill to pay.
I would just wait a year or two and time will tell.
