The red maple should be as sunny as possible
Red maple prefers sunny location
In its North American homeland the red maple (Acer rubrum) is regarded as one of the deciduous trees relevant to the famous Indian Summer. In fact, the typical five-lobed, fresh-green leaves in the summer turn bright red in the fall - all the more intense the more the sun is shining from the sky. For this reason, you should choose a location as sunny as possible for the red maple.

The beautiful, eponymous autumn color appears only in a sufficiently bright place in the garden, which is why you should always prefer a sunny to partial shade of light in the garden. Equally important is the soil, which should be as loose, well drained, sandy and humic as possible and slightly acidic to neutral - alkaline soils can not tolerate the red maple, like other maple species.
Tips
Explanted specimens are best kept on a gently sloping hill or the like, so that any waterlogging can not even form.
