Maple wilt, also called Verticillium wilt, is a common and serious disease of maples. The destructive soil-borne fungus, Verticillium, kills many maples each year throughout North America. Norway maples seem especially sensitive to infection by Verticillium.
There are 13 species of maple trees native to North America. Some are naturally fast-growing, while others grow slowly. If you want your maple tree to grow fast, you should start with a fast-growing species. Silver maples grow faster than any other maple, but red maples are fast-growing, too. Both species are considered moderately short-lived, with a life expectancy of around 150 years. Once you have your tree, you can do several things to stimulate growth. Red maples are a fairly fast-growing species of maple.
