Acer rubrum -Red Maple - is native to Eastern North America, and is a medium-sized deciduous tree boasts a height of 40-60', outfitted with a rounded to oval crown. Unlike other maples, Red Maple grows faster than Norway and sugar maples, but slightly slower than silver maple. One of its unique characteristics is its beautiful red hues that can be seen throughout its features, from its new growth leaves, leafstalks, twigs and flowers, to fruit and fall coloring. Appropriate for lawn, street or park planting, it requires average, medium to wet, well-drained soil and full sun to part shade. Red Maple, despite its preference for slightly acid, moist conditions, is very adaptable and cold hardy. Notably, this species bears either male or female flowers, each casting their own unique aesthetic appeal. Red Maple offers a vibrant feast of color, from the dense clusters of red flowers that bloom in late March to early April, prior to the appearance of leaves, to its reddish fruits known as two-winged samaras. Fall season unveils its exceptional orange-red foliage color, a captivating sight against the backdrop of the changing seasons. Despite its striking beauty, careful consideration is critical in site selection due to the Red Maple's shallow, flattened root system that can cause damage to nearby infrastructure. Enjoy the many facets and robust performance of the Acer rubrum - Red Maple.
