Red Maple Trees- Acer Rubrum 

The Red Maple Tree is the ultimate addition to any garden begging for color. Its bright red plumage in the fall months makes it ideal for any gardener wanting to celebrate the seasons. For many homeowners and landscapers, it is a dream come true. 

 Growth And Appearance Of Red Maple Trees

This fast-growing tree begins with bright red flowers and twigs in spring, putting on an attractive early-season display. Then, during the summer, it transitions to a thick canopy, with dense leaves jostling for space.

Fall's Vibrant Foliage

 Following that comes the tree’s transformation in the fall, where it develops spectacular orange, yellow, and red leaves before they finally fall to the ground. The tree grows significantly (usually 50 to 90 feet tall and 30 to 40 feet wide) while maintaining its shape and color.

The bark thickens with age and turns gray, adding tone to your garden and complementing your theme. Sometimes, trees produce fruits called samaras in late spring, attracting small mammals to the area. The fast-growing tree is a relatively hardy species.

Hardy Planting Zones

The tree thrives in hardiness zones 3 to 9. To get the best results. Keep it in moist soils without irrigation. It is okay to grow with or without direct sunlight, and once mature, the tree can survive several weeks without rain.

Growth Pattern

 Expect the tree to grow around two feet in the right climate annually. The tree can naturally resist disease and doesn’t get sick often. Give your garden a classic fiery red look in the autumn. Grows to 50-90 feet; requires minimal maintenance.

Asthetics

The tree develops a stunning fiery red canopy in autumn before the leaves fall. Red maple is suitable for numerous climates, including dry conditions, and is naturally resistant to multiple diseases, including blight, pests, and diseases.

Attracts wildlife into the garden by providing shelter and grows to a maximum height of 90 feet, although most specimens are significantly shorter

This Is How Your Plants Will Look upon Delivery

Plant bare root trees during the dormant season in early spring or late fall (November through April). Dig the hole twice as wide as the roots so the soil is well-drained. Position the tree so the root flare is at or just above ground level. Fill the hole back with the soil you dug from and water. Maintain soil moisture, especially in the tree's early years, by providing deep, regular watering. Apply a 2-4 inch mulch away from the trunk at the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Prune trees during the first few seasons to establish strength and resilience, remove damaged branches, and continue maintenance pruning as the tree matures. Regularly inspect for pests and diseases and apply integrated pest management practices. Protect young trees from mechanical damage and extreme temperatures with tree guards, and stake them if necessary for support, removing the stakes after one or two years.
