The Red Sunset maple puts on a great show in the early fall with its red-orange leaves glowing in the autumn sun!

The Red Sunset is one of the most unique red maple trees you'll find.

It's not a typical "red maple". Instead of displaying only red fall foliage, you also get a unique shade of crimson orange.

In fact, that's why they call it the "Red Sunset" maple. You get a beautiful mix of red, orange... even yellow.

And the disctinct color appears weeks earlier than other maple varieties.

The Red Sunset combines the early red color of the Summers Red Maple with the outstanding fall foliage of the Autumn Blaze Maple.

In early spring, you'll notice hundreds of red flower clusters- letting you know that the weather is about to get warmer.

In late spring and summer, you'll see that your Red Sunset maple will grow up to two feet... but the new growth will be bright red leaves, not typical green ones.

Then, when fall hits, you see an amazing display of dark orange & red that will demand attention.

This is one of the most admired maple trees during autumn. Your friends and neighbors will be asking you all about your new maple tree!

The Red Sunset maple is very easy to grow. It grows quickly up to a mature height of 40-50 feet, giving your home dense shade in the summer time.

It's one of the most colorful shade trees you'll find.

Also great for lining streets and sidewalks. Imagine the show in the fall when you're greeted by a beautiful row of bright orange and red!

It's Easy to Plant your Red Sunset Maple
	Step 1 - Dig Your Hole Select a site with full to partial sun and moist or well drained soil for your Red Sunset 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 Red Sunset 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 Red Sunset 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.
