<h3>2. How do I water my Hot Wings™ Tatarian Maple?</h3>
<p><strong>Watering needs:</strong> Young trees need regular watering to establish roots. Water deeply once a week, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Mature trees are more drought-tolerant but benefit from occasional deep watering during prolonged dry spells.</p>

<ul>
<li><strong>Timing:</strong> Wait until the samaras (winged seeds) turn from green to a reddish color, typically in late summer to early fall.</li>
