Acer rubrum var. drummondii, commonly known as Drummond Red Maple or Swamp Red Maple, is a notable variety thriving in moist, swampy landscapes, native to the southeastern United States from southeast Texas to southern Illinois and across to southern New Jersey. This deciduous tree stands tall, reaching heights of up to 90 feet, with a spread of 60 feet, making it a magnificent choice for ornamental purposes. Known for its vibrant autumn foliage, Drummond Red Maple showcases striking red and yellow hues, coupled with decorative red male flowers that bloom from February to April. Its leaves, unlike typical maples, are hairy on the silvery underside and remarkably attractive in the fall.

Named after Thomas Drummond, a Scottish naturalist renowned for his extensive collections in Texas, this tree is a cornerstone of woodland and wetland ecosystems, providing essential resources for wildlife. Birds and squirrels enjoy its seeds, while deer find sustenance in its foliage. Gardeners seeking a fast-growing, showy shade tree will find Drummond Red Maple ideal for acidic, moist, or wet soils, though it’s not as cold-hardy as other maples. Engage with nature’s splendor by enhancing your landscape with this exceptional tree, where its ecological impact and stunning beauty come to life.
