Unique. Deep Purple Foliage

Why Crimson King Maple Trees?

Regular Maples provide brilliant color in fall...but the Crimson King Maple Tree shows off its beautiful purple leaves fading to deep green, providing color all summer long. In fact, Crimson King Maples are known for their striking, rich purple foliage in colder climates, too, and are one of the few trees to give you excellent color in the Northern states.

And it doesn't matter what soil you plant your trees in because your Crimson King Maples will give you beautiful color anywhere. These trees will give you long-lasting color, shifting from a deep purple to a deep green and back to a brilliant purple in fall, hassle-free. Plus, the Crimson King Maple will give you dense shade, blocking the hot sun from your home and yard.

Why Fast-Growing-Trees.com is Better

For starters, your Crimson Maple will adapt to a variety of soil types and growing conditions without any effort on your part. But the top benefit is that you get healthier roots and more developed growth from the beginning - since we've nurtured your tree, long before it ships out, you get better results and success in your own landscape.

Don't wait to get this top tree...the Crimson sells out fast. Claim the Crimson King Maple Tree for yourself today!

Crimson King Maple - Pretty Good

So far it has been doing pretty well. The tree arrived pretty well protected, and in good condition. The only reason I am giving it 4 stars is because there was some small scrapes on the top branches bark, causing the majority new growth to happen 8-12 inches down from the top buds growth point. I used some cling wrap to try and save the top stems and was 50% successful. Long term, it will be fine.

Going well

Was very healthy looking coming out of the box. We planted it the next day after arrival per instructions and it has been doing well. Fingers crossed that it will do well in the heat of summer.
