: : Should one stake a Red Maple the first year of planting?
yes!
Our Red Maple is 35 years old. I have noticed that this year, one of the large branches has a 2ftx3" long, crack or a split and there are some tiny ants that invaded this crack. How should I get rid of these ants and/or how can I protect the tree without damaging it? Should I cut the limb in order to protect the rest of the tree? Thanks
