After planting the sapling in a tree patch and waiting for it to fully grow, which takes 5 hours and 20 minutes, the plant will grow into a maple tree which can be cut to yield maple logs (and grant Woodcutting experience). Planting the maple sapling yields 45 experience, and checking the health gives you 3403. This comes to a total of 3448 experience per maple tree. When cut down, the tree will automatically regrow after a period of time. Alternatively, it can be dug up using a spade or by paying the gardener a small fee, yielding some maple roots in the process.
