Acer heldreichii ssp. trautvetteri, commonly known as Red-bud Maple, is a striking addition to your landscape that promises both beauty and resilience. Belonging to the Aceraceae family, this magnificent deciduous tree traces its roots back to the picturesque landscapes of Turkey and the Caucasus region. With its exceptional hardiness, it thrives in USDA Zone 6, making it an ideal choice for a variety of climates.

In its native habitat, Red-bud Maple can soar to impressive heights of up to 60 feet. Its dark green leaves are a botanical marvel, being 5-lobed and nearly split to the base. The distinctive bright red petioles add a pop of color, complemented by its stunning yellow fall foliage. Introduced to Western gardens in 1866 by French botanist G.B.J. Balansa, this tree also delights in the spring with clusters of yellow flowers, followed by winged fruits that turn a captivating red. Acer heldreichii ssp. trautvetteri is truly an extraordinary specimen tree for any garden aficionado.
