MAPLE--SEEDS
Heavy maple seed production can cause a silver, red or sugar maple to appear
thin and sparse. Seed formation takes precedence over growth and until
the seed falls, the amount of leaves on a tree can be small.
When seeds fall, the trees should resume additional growth and eventually
fill in by mid-summer.
Fall fertilization of maples can limit the sparseness of leaves. Follow
recommendation in Horticulture Fact Sheet NC-9-84.
No chemical control is registered in Illinois for homeowner use to prevent
seeds from forming or causing seeds to abort after pollination.
