Red Maple is a beautiful deciduous tree that blooms with small red flowers in the spring. It is one of the first trees to change colour in the fall, turning a brilliant reddish-orange colour. It is one of the most common and widespread maples in North America.
Red Maple is a great choice for parks and large gardens where there is ample room for its root system.
Important note: Red Maple leaves are toxic to horses if ingested in quantity.
Red Sunset Maple is named for its stunning orange and red leaves in the fall. It is a fast growing cultivar of the Red Maple that is native to Eastern North America. The winter stems and spring flowers are also tinged with red color, making this tree attractive year round.
The Red Sunset Maple is salt sensitive and prefers moist soil with slightly acidic conditions.
