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.

6-7 foot Red Maple

I ordered a 6-7 foot red maple. It came as a stick that looked like a pitchfork. I live in zone 9A but we can get snow so I consider it more zone 8 much to my citrus plants displeasure. Since spring began it has grown beautifully with many leaves. The only threat to it was my toddler who loves shaking it so I built a barrier around it along with some string to keep it from moving too much until the roots get stronger and the wind won't blow it too hard

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.
