The producers for The Today Show asked me “What’s your Hottest Fast Growing Tree?”

I gave some of my favorites, then when I described the Summers Red Maple they flipped out.

“We can say this grows twice as fast as other red maple trees plus gives red foliage for months longer?” was their response.

I said, “not only that, but the red foliage starts in July and August… a characteristic that no other maple trees offer.”

We discussed how the oversized leaves can cut summer AC bills by 20%… just by shading the east, west and southwest sides of a home and the air conditioning units. Then in the winter, those large leaves fall, letting through sunlight when it’s needed most.

So we helped them put together the segment and sent them several Summers Reds, so they could demonstrate how they grow 4+ ft per year.
