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.

We are very pleased with
We are very pleased with our new maple trees. They came green and very healthy looking. We planted them within two days after delivery, watered them well and they are doing well so far. We're thankful for their size, good the company ethics and certain they will grow as they should.
So Far So Good-Looking Forward to the Future with this Maple
My Sunset Maple arrived quickly and with a few buds on it. I was pretty sick when it arrived, so it had to wait a couple of days before planting. But I made sure to water it. By planting it had a few leaves. It was pretty root bound in the pot though, which concerned me about its success. But I loosened the roots and also added soil made for trees (with nutrients added) to give it the best possible start. It seems to be getting new leaves and doing fine. Though the leaves are already a reddish tinge and I expected they'd be more green in spring (April). Either way, I'll just give it time to grow and settle in. It's near the entrance of my property and will likely be a stunning welcome to everyone in the future.
Arrived quickly, packaged very well.
Arrived quickly, packaged very well. I got it planted and it took about a week for the leaf buds to take off. Hoping for a beautiful tree.
Red Sunset Maple Tree
My Red Sunset Maple Tree arrived quickly, well packaged in a box… I quickly planted the tree and waiting for the warm weather and the tree to grow some leaves!
Made it through winter
We planted three of these trees in the fall, here in Iowa, all three trees made it through the winter, and are starting to bud. We planted four trees from this site over the years, not counting the 3 we planted last fall. 3 of the 4 are still growing, only had one that did not. Very good place to purchase trees.
