Product Description
Stunning Cardinal Reds, Even in Spring!
Why Cardinal Red™ Maple Trees?
Without a doubt, you’re going to be impressed by the breathtaking reds that the Cardinal Red™ Maple has to offer. The autumn show will dazzle you with bright red-orange and maroon colors.
And you’ll get those breathtaking fall colors early...colors that also last the entire season. But remarkably, fall isn’t the only time you’ll see stunning cardinal reds. New growth in early spring starts out red and eventually turns into deep green.
And it’s not just the reds that will impress you:
- Virtually carefree growth: No diseases or pests means no maintenance!
- Soil adaptability: Plant it in nearly any soil condition, and you’ll still get stunning reds.
- Versatility: Adaptable to zones 4 through 8, the Cardinal Red™ Maple is a great addition to any yard.

This is not a mere twig of a sapling they sent a beautifully sized healthy looking tree. No transplant issues it made it through the winter fine and the leaf color is as gorgeous as in the photo.
Nice trees
When my trees arrived they stated the leaves would possibly be black and would fall off. Indeed that is what happened but soon after new leaves started appearing. I have planted them in my yard and they look good. I hope they make it thru the winter. I live in zone 6. I am expecting to have 3 beautiful shade trees eventually.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: The Cardinal Maple can be planted in any soil condition, though it naturally grows in soggy bottomlands. It can tolerate full sun or partial shade (but prefers 4 to 8 hours of sunlight daily). Plant in a hole twice as wide, though just as deep as the root ball. Mulch around the canopy, but not near the trunk, to help the tree maintain moisture. Plant your Maples with some spacing from power lines, structures, sidewalks and sewer lines.
2. Watering: Be sure to water the tree weekly in its young life to ensure proper growth. If you live in an area with frequent droughts, you may need to water weekly throughout its life.
3. Pruning: If you live in an area with windy conditions, hurricanes, ice storms, or salty air, you'll need to prune your tree in the early spring to prevent limb breakage. Prune the weakest branches, including any dead or diseased branches.
