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.

So far- amazing
2 of these for my front yard to replace trees that wouldn't take. They budded out completely as soon as the temp was right and they seem to be doing very well so far. Am considering ordering some different trees for the back yard next year. In Madsachusetts

I am very satisfied but it’s a little early shipping and planting went well very happy
Red Sunset® Maple Tree
I received this tree on 6/28/26. It came packaged nicely and it was healthy. I planted it the same evening. That following week was a week in the high to low nineties! It came thru and looks healthy. I look forward to it growing and providing shade in my yard.
Beautiful Tree!
Everything was so easy and my husband and I were surprised to find such a beautiful young tree delivered straight to our door. It was in perfect condition and had beautiful full healthy bright green leaves that were not damaged in shipment. The trunk was straight and healthy. It is planted and hasn't lost a single leaf. Can hardly wait for it to be a year or two older. It should be stunning! We plan to buy several more trees from Fast Growing Trees in the near future.
So far so good, just
So far so good, just planted it and it looks great.
