Dazzling Color Arrives Earlier & Lasts Longer
Why Red Sunset ® Maple Trees?
Delivering outstanding red and orange color weeks earlier than other varieties, the Red Sunset® is one of the best maples on the market. This tree’s deep, dazzling red hues can develop almost one month before other similar varieties, giving you longer-lasting fall color.
The Red Sunset ® displays rich, vivid color where other maples can't. Whether you're in a cold climate with temperatures down to -20 degrees or a hot, dry desert up to zone 9, you get the promise of intense color. The Red Sunset® is much more drought-resistant than other varieties too, so it keeps on looking great despite little water. Plus, its strong branching stands up to high winds and intense storms with ease.
Nothing can stop the Red Sunset® from displaying its vivid range of bright hues. Plant your Red Sunset® Maple along the road’s edge, in borders, or as an ornamental that stands on its own. No matter where it grows, the Red Maple puts on a show and transforms your landscape into the best yard on the block.

Red maple
Delivered on time , 3 broken branches, planted and seems to be doing well in the heat, could have been in better shape but will give it time to get established.
Cute little Maple tree
It was shorter than I expected but thankfully the support on it helps. We have had so much rain in the last few weeks I hope it makes it. I love these trees and look forward to it this Fall.
Excellent tree and thoughtul shipping.
Extremely pleased with the pair of Red Sunset Maple trees I received. Both were healthy and the expected height. Their packaging of the 2 trees was protective of the soil and well moisturized overall. Would order from them again!
Came in great shape, good
