Red maple cuttings can be done in spring or summer. Be more careful when cutting in summer to avoid branch death. When cutting, you must first select branches with good growth conditions and prepare a suitable substrate. Keep 2-3 leaves on the branches, cut them diagonally at the bottom, and put them in the rooting solution for 6-12 hours. Finally, insert the skewer into the soil, fix it and water it.

The most suitable time for red maple cuttings is spring. Generally, annual branches are used for cuttings in spring. Cuttings can also be made in summer, using the young shoots of the current year. However, the temperature in summer will be relatively high, so there are many aspects that need to be managed after cutting to prevent the branches from dying.

1. Branch selection: Before cutting, select a high-quality mother tree and select branches from the mother tree that are in the best growth condition and free from insect damage. There is no need to use too long branches, just about 8-15cm.

2. Substrate: Prepare the substrate for cuttings in advance. Under normal circumstances, the best soil is river sand and yellow soil. This substrate will be more conducive to the rooting of branches.

3. Treatment: The top of the branch should have 2 -3 pieces of leaves, with diagonal cuts at the bottom. Prepare the prepared rooting solution, then soak the branches in it and take it out after 6-12 hours.

4. Cutting: When cutting, there should be a certain distance between each cutting branch. Insert the branch into the substrate to almost half the depth, press it firmly with the surrounding soil and water it thoroughly. That's it.
