Acer Rubrum, commonly known as Red Canadian Maple, is a stunning deciduous tree which is highly prized for its rich red foliage, especially during the autumn months.
Red Canadian Maple is a fast-growing, ultimately large, round-headed tree native to North America. Plus, its dense branching makes it a great choice for adding height and structure to your space.
Eye-catching small red flowers appear in the bare branches of Acer Rubrum in the spring. Next comes dark green summer leaves.
But, the real magic to Red Canadian Maple is the scarlet-red and fiery orange leaves in autumn. This seasonal display makes Acer Rubrum one of the most striking and well-loved autumnal trees.
As an adaptable and versatile specimen, Acer Rubrum will perform in many different conditions. However, it thrives in moist, well-drained and mildly acidic soils.
Red Canadian Maple will thrive in full sun or positioned in partial shade. Over 20 years, you can expect a spread of around 4 metres with a height of about 6 metres. However, this giant can reach heights of up to 30 metres after 50 years.
Acer Rubrum is also incredibly hardy and can tolerate varied weather conditions. You can expect it to withstand very cold winters and still deliver those beautiful, crimson displays.
Its dynamic nature makes it a great choice for large gardens, parks or open spaces.
If you’re after a towering tree that showcases beautiful, autumnal colours, Acer Rubrum is the perfect choice. Bring the magic to your garden today and order your Red Canadian Maple Tree.
