Autumn Radiance Red Maple

The Autumn Radiance Red Maple is a beautiful native shade or forest tree, that has intense fall colors of orange-red to crimson. It colors two weeks or more before most other red maples, so extending the season for fall color. It grows quickly into a large tree over 40 feet tall and 35 feet wide, with a dense, rounded crown. The leaves are classic maple leaves, and the maple ‘keys’ are small and quickly break down, without making a mess. Grow this tree as a shade tree on a lawn or enrich existing woodland areas with it. A row makes a great boundary marker.
