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.

Too Early to Tell
Order 2 trees arrived in pretty good condition, had them planted in about a week, so far so good. Won't really know until next spring if they're doing well or not since we're now going into autumn. But again, at the outset looking good.
my first order from fast growing trees
I purchased a 4-5 foot tree. I was given a 2 day time window for delivery, it arrived the first day of that window. It looked very healthy when unboxed! I planted the following day. The tree from ground to the top measures 5 feet 5 inches and is very straight and sturdy looking. I will update my post in the spring with how it is doing and if it has grown. I'm very excited to see my baby maple grow!
Can’t wait to watch it grow
It came super fast and the tree is very healthy. I can’t wait to watch it grow and get some shade in my front yard.
