| I've been told by more than one knowledgable person that the Maple I planted in front of our house was a bad idea for this climate. Can anyone substantiate this before I rip it out and replace it with a Red Oak? |

| Depends on the Sugar Maple. There are subspecies and possible an ecotype that could be just fine. We need more info. Arktrees |

| Where did you get this maple? If it's bigtooth maple, Texas sugar maple, then it should do fine although shantung maple did a lot better than bigtooth maple for me. |
