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 40-50 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!

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 "glory" long after other trees have dropped their leaves. My only regret is that I didn't plant 6!

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.

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.

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.

We originally ordered it last Fall but due to a minor setback with the trees we couldn't 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 magnificant 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.

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.

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 desribed as a fast growing tree. The tree had beautiful leaves this year though. For the beauty of tree though it was worth it. I can't wait to see it get bigger and have a big beautiful tree in the fall.

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!

I am excited to see how this tree will turn out. It's 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.

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 didn't appear to be rocket science. Georgia has had a bit of a drought the duration of the time I've had this tree in my yard. So carrying it water on a regular basis has become the norm since it's little roots don't go deep into the soil yet. We have a 60 foot maple right next to it that is droubt proof I believe. But It's 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.
