The Ideal time to plant a Maple tree would to be in the Fall. This gives your tree's roots a better condition to grow in. Don't be surprised if you don't see significant growth in the first couple of months, because obviously trees take a while to grow. first off you need to choose a good spot to grow your tree. The most ideal place to grow the finest maple tree would were the soil is rich but doesn't get too much moisture. Make sure you know the size of your tree when you plant it because this could cause long term problems.(The roots of the tree could come into contact with sidewalks, building, and roads etc.)

After you have picked the perfect spot to grow your finest maple tree you will have to dig. First of all dig a hole about a 1 and 1/2 ft. wide and 1 ft deep. You should probably use this hole as a "test hole" and fill it with water. You would do this to make sure you really can grow the finest maple tree. Alright after you have put water in your hole leave for about and hour and check it. If you still have water in your hole it looks like your soil is poorly drained. You would do the same thing for well drained areas except you would only dig the hole about 2/3 the height of the root ball. After you have done all your tests you are ready to plant the finest maple tree ever. make sure if you plan on mulching to cover the hole with dirt and not the mulch.

You would still do the same thing for well drained spots. You would just dig your hole bigger based on the size of the tree. here are some key things to know about your tree, never carry it by the trunk always use the container. even though it wouldn't be likely you could damage some roots to your tree.
