Famous for its Brilliant, Easy-Growing Foliage

Why American Red Maple Trees?

Vibrant color and rich reds are synonymous with the American Red Maple Tree. The Red Maple truly earns its name, with its red flowers in early spring, red twigs of new growth, and spectacular red leaves in fall. Its dazzling fall show is further diversified with a few orange or gold shades under certain weather conditions.

Even better, the American Red Maple adapts to any environment. The American Red Maple Tree is one of the most populous trees in the eastern U.S. because it adapts so well to many different environments. It is quite drought tolerant, but will grow in wet boggy areas, especially in the Southern portion of its range.

Plus, this ultra-strong Maple grows in nearly any soil type, from sandy loam to heavy clay. And though its leaf colors can be affected by less-than-ideal conditions, it even tolerates pollution and an urban environment.

Perfect!

Deliver as tracked, the box it came in was extra sturdy, and it was potted so I could let it sit out for a day before I put it in the ground.

Arrived healthy

It arrived in good shape and perked up in just a couple days. Looking good so far and I'm glad was able to plant it in the spring.

I bought an American Red

I bought an American Red Maple as the (future) centerpiece of my front yard. I believe it was a six foot sapling when I ordered it. I received the tree promptly as promised. It was in excellent shape in its box. I removed it from the box and immediately gave it water. The garden guy at Home Depot suggested that it give a vitamin B and water mixture when I transplanted it. He said it was a great way to give new trees and shrubs a boost. So I did. The tree is doing extremely well! It has grown new leaves and looks very healthy. I could not be happier! I look forward to seeing this tree takeover the yard and dominate the neighborhood over the next ten years!! I thought the price was outstanding. The delivery was timely. The condition of the tree was healthy. All things I have come to expect from Fast Growing Trees. I had basically the same experience with the gardenia bushes I ordered too! But that’s another story…

Love my American Red Maple tree!

My tree arrived in good shape with small buds on it. It had to wait a few days before I could plant it. When I got home after 3 days, it was already growing leaves. I’m pleased with the planting instructions too.
