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 sunset maple
Ordered, and received red sunset maple. I couldn’t be happier with it. The last 3 trees 2 Princeton sentry ginkgos, and the red sunset, are by far the best I’ve ever purchased. They were also perfectly packaged. Thanks to everyone at fast growing trees! Sincerely, Shane McDonald
Tree arrived quickly it’s about
Tree arrived quickly it’s about 7ft tall no leaves yet. Planted it quickly and didn’t have to keep the shipping stick on it looks to be doing well so far.
Very Happy!
I received this baby tree 5’-6’ broken about a 1/3rd down from the top! I was heartbroken but the shipping mishap was remedied immediately by a wonderful man in cust svc. I received the added bonus of a 7’ replacement because the others had sold out. This one arrived in perfect condition and the leaves are emerging from top to bottom! Very happy with FGT and this was my first experience with online shopping for plants but not my last!! Thank you FGT!
