How to grow and care for Vine Maples








These are Cedar Hill trees!

That vine looks just like my 25 liquid amber trees but without the mess of those spiny balls!!!!!

Last year I gave my nieces a job to do and that was to pick up all the little stickery balls. They got a penny a piece....that ended up to be $26.00 worth within a few hours. Those little hands can pick them up fast. They counted out one bucket full and then just counted the buckets after that!!!! The four year old was really getting into it with the counting. It was sooo cute she would work for a while then come sit on my porch swing...wipe her little forehead and say "there are a lot of them why don't you just cut down the trees?" LOL My reply I just cut down 2 otherwise you would of made more money. "Oh, Karen don't cut down any more trees...I like making money". And back off to work she went. Will see if I can get them to do it this year!

The reason I didn't add the growing information at first is probably due to the fact that they are essentially considered to be a weed here. In fact, I cut down (and burned) about 50 of them yesterday! They are beautiful trees when they are controlled though!
