Which location would a Globosum want?
The spherical maple is characterized by a pronounced location tolerance. The representative tree shows its most beautiful side under the following conditions:

- Well-drained, without the risk of waterlogging

What should you pay particular attention to when planting?
A spacious planting pit, the correct planting depth and extensive watering in the subsequent period are the pillars of successful planting. How to do it right:
- Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball
- Submerge the potted bale in water until no more air bubbles appear
- Stuff and place in the middle of the pit
- Enrich the excavation with a third of compost and 100 grams of horn shavings
- Fill in substrate, press on and water
It is important to note that the previous planting depth is retained. If a spherical maple gets too deep into the ground, the roots receive significantly less oxygen than before. Ultimately, the roots stop working and the entire spherical maple withers as it grows.
Abundant and regular watering is crucial on the day of planting and in the following weeks. Let the water run directly onto the root disc. A small pouring rim ensures that the maple can use all of the irrigation water.
