If the soil is dry for the top 10cm or so, it will be time to water. If planting in Summer, especially long hot ones, regular watering will be important. Water well after planting, at least 20 litres spread around the whole root system. If you go too deep, you can always make the top slightly "dished" by having the outer edges higher than the middle. Try and plant so the top of the rootball soil is level with the garden soil as you need to avoid bark that was previously exposed to air being buried. Make the hole wider than the pot, this is to follow the same principle as breaking up the bottom. The purists will tell you to make the hole square to reduce the chances of the roots spiralling round, this is your choice.

Dig a hole as deep as your pot but break up the bottom 5-10 cm to allow the roots to spread a little easier. Remove any competing weeds and other plants within 100cm of your Acer Platanoides Norway Maple planting spot. If you have a particularly heavy clay soil then consider mixing well-rotted manure or compost into the excavated soil. Acer Platanoides Norway Maple will tolerate most soil conditions to include sand, clay, loam and chalk.
