Achillea alpina

Siberian Yarrow is a species of perennial flowering plant native to mountainous areas of Siberia and Europe. As its name suggested, this lovely plant is particularly hardy, able to survive cold temperatures and strong winds. It thrives in well-drained, sandy soil and produces multiple tall spires of bright yellow flowers in early summer. Naturalized Yarrow often spreads rapidly, creating large colonies, with gray-green aromatic foliage. It has a few uses, such as medicinal applications and as an aromatic herb. It is also a popular choice among gardeners, due to its long-lasting blooms and attractive shape.

watering

The Black Maple should be watered regularly and deeply, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Generally, water your Black Maple once every 7 to 10 days, but the exact timing may vary depending on the season and local conditions. In hot and dry conditions, water every 5 to 7 days. In cold and wet conditions, water every 10 to 14 days. Fertilize once a month during the growing season with a balanced fertilizer to help the plant reach its full growth potential.

sunlight

Black Maple trees prefer moderate amounts of sunlight, and require slightly longer periods of light than other types of maple. Generally, a Black Maple does best when it receives at least 4 hours of direct sunlight each day, ideally during the morning hours. Full sun is not necessary, as partial shade is tolerated. Too much direct sun in hot climates can cause leaf scorch or leaf burn, so ensure that adequate shade is present to protect the leaves and foliage.

pruning

Pruning of Black Maple (Acer nigrum) should generally be done in late winter or early spring when the tree is dormant. It is best to prune just before new growth appears. Severe pruning should be avoided, as it will create an unsightly overall shape and can stunt new growth. Pruning back only a few branches of the tree will help ensure a symmetrical shape and encourage growth. Proper care should be taken to avoid damaging or removing live buds.
