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.

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.

So far so good!

When my tree arrived, it just looked like a stick to me. However, after a few day in the ground, it has started to leaf. My only issue is one of the main branches was pruned off making it look lopsided and awkward. Hopefully it will branch out and overcome this after it matures.

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHi Duane, we apologize for the appearance due to the missing branch. Many young trees will branch out as they grow and develop a more natural shape over time. We'll make sure to share this feedback with our team. If you need further assistance, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Good so far!

When my tree arrived, it looked more like a stick. After a couple days in the ground it is starting to leaf. One of the main branches had been pruned off which makes it look awkward. Hopefully it will branch out as it matures.

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHi Duane, we're happy your tree is showing new growth so quickly. We understand your concern about the shape, but many young trees will develop fuller branching as they grow. Our team is here anytime if you need support.

Nice trees

Overall, the experience was a positive one, disappointed with how FedEx handles packages as one box was busted. The tress inside were tossed around a bit but seem to be ok. Out of the 5 trees, 1 arrived with no limbs, hoping it will fill out soon. I assumed they would arrive with leaves.

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHi Patricia, thank you for your review. We’re sorry about the shipping condition and understand your concern with how the trees arrived. We’ll share this with the carrier for improvement. Trees can sometimes arrive dormant or with limited branching, but with proper care, they typically leaf out and fill in over time. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need guidance.
