October Glory maple trees produce bright red flowers in springtime, dark green leaves in the summer, and some of the most vibrant red foliage in the fall!

An improved cultivar over all other Red Maple Trees... superior red color of the October Glory Maple™ is intense.

An ideal landscaping tree... a fast growing tree that requires minimal attention!

Commonly used to line drives or boulevards. October Glory Maple Trees quickly mature into a pleasing oval shape, reaching up to 40 ft.

Its leaves drop later in the autumn season than other trees, so you have more time to enjoy their show! You'll enjoy your October Glory's proud display of red foliage while other trees are bare!

In the spring, it produces tiny conspicuous red flowers that pop against the backdrop of spring green. Showy red fruit attracts birds.

You get reliable color that is less dependent on the weather as other maples. October Glories will even grow in warmer climates – areas not typically suited for trees that specialize in fall color.

Always popular – order your trees soon because supplies are limited!

Your October Glory Maple can be planted any time of year!

It's Easy to Plant your October Glory Maple
	Step 1 - Dig Your Hole Select a site with full to partial sun and moist or well drained soil for your October Glory Maple. If you're planting a hedge, mark out a visual guide by placing stakes five to six feet apart and looping string around them. Plant the trees where the stakes are and they'll grow together to make a dense privacy screen. First, dig each hole so that it is just shallower than the root ball and at least twice the width. Then loosen the soil in the planting hole so the roots can easily break through. Use your shovel or try dragging the points of a pitch fork along the sides and bottom of the hole.
	Step 2 - Place Your Tree Next, separate the roots of your October Glory Maple gently with your fingers and position them downward in the hole. The top of the root flare, where the roots end and the trunk begins, should be about an inch above the surrounding soil. Then make sure the tree is exactly vertical in the hole. To make it just right, use a level.
	Step 3 - Backfill Your Hole As you backfill the hole, apply water to remove air pockets. Remove debris like stones and grass and completely break up any dirt clumps. Water your October Glory Maple again after the transplant is complete. To help retain some of that moisture, it's recommended that you place mulch around each tree to a depth of 2"-3" up to but not touching the trunk. Organic mulches such as wood chips or pine needles also help to better soil structure as they decompose.

Brenda

We bought this product to plant in memory of our son that passed away last November. We were very excited about the tree since we had shopped around and found that this tree was described as a fast growing tree. The tree had beautiful leaves this year though. For the beauty of tree though it was worth it. I cant wait to see it get bigger and have a big beautiful tree in the fall.

Annie

I planted 3 October Glory trees in 2000 and they are absolutely beautiful! They are about 30 feet tall now and do a great job of shading my house. People drive by my home and stop to stare at them in my front yard. They are just now coming into their full

Brad

I planted the October Glory Maple tree in my front yard. I know when it gets large enough it will provide much needed shade to help keep my bedrooms cool in the hot Florida sun. This tree has grown about 3 feet just in the first year. I have no complaints about this tree. Beautiful colors have started to show and appears to be disease free. I highly recommend this tree if you want shade and color and no worries.

Jennifer

We originally ordered it last Fall but due to a minor setback with the trees we couldnt receive it until the Spring ,which ended up being fine,. It was packaged well and looked healthy upon arriving. We planted our tree a few days later and it started to grow additional branches quickly. It is now thriving and the leaves turned a magnificent orange-red this Fall. I am excited to watch our tree grow each year and would purchase a tree again from Fast Growing Trees Nursery.

Paul

I am pleased with the growth and color this year on both my October Glory trees. I look forward to seeing them really develop.

Lee

I purchased the Red Glory for my birthday. I love colorful trees. I ordered in the fall and did not see much growth. My husband said wait until spring, when the sap start to run, and you will see it spring forward. I thought,

Great tree! I am a beginner gardener. I planted this 4 ft. tree as a Christmas gift to my mother in 12/08. The tree is doing great. It is already over 8 ft. tall with multiple branches and huge leaves. I can not wait to see it change colors late in the fall.

Bel Air Gardener

My red maple really started getting tall this year. It is now about 7 feet tall. The leaves this fall were so red they almost seemed to glow. It is wonderful that it starts its show of red after most of the other trees have finished their color change. The October Glory adds a final spark of color to my garden as winter approaches. It is really quite striking and make a nice match for a burning bush I also have in the yard.

Aimee

I am excited to see how this tree will turn out. Its still alive and slowly growing. My husband and I are pleased with the products of Fast Growing Trees compared to some other companies out there.

Sooner Jim

I received my new sapling very quickly, followed the easy directions of how to plant it. It grew very quickly ,like a weed!, It looked very beautiful when fall came and held its colorful leaves longer than the other trees.

Joe

Fantastic! I have this tree on a berm blocking my house from the road. In the third full year, it really took off in size and looks beautiful in the fall!

Keith

I bought this tree to mark the grave of loved family pet. The tree itself showed up healthy and well packaged. The planting instructions were easy. Plus I looked up to some tips on line and it didnt appear to be rocket science. Georgia has had a bit of a drought the duration of the time Ive had this tree in my yard. So carrying it water on a regular basis has become the norm since its little roots dont go deep into the soil yet. We have a 60 foot maple right next to it that is doubt proof I believe. But Its had 20 years to get there. Anyway, the tree seems to be healthy. My only minus is that the color of the leaves is are a little sickly so far. No much of a popping red. Just sort of a old weathered look with brown spots and not a lot of vibrant color. Some sources I checked out say this is normal for young trees and as they get older they get more vibrant. So we will see.

Beth

I planted this 4/2010. It was about 7 feet tall at the time. I write this in August 2011. I am so amazed with this tree! I think it's probably 14 feet at least, and always has new leaves coming out, even in our hot central Ca climate. Can't wait for fall to see the color!

Tony

I planted 5 (4feet)October Maples late last summer and less than a year later they have grown about 5 feet... I can't believe how well these trees have grown and look already. Very pleased!
