The Autumn Fantasy® Red Maple grows where red maple usually won’t – in hot, dry areas and on alkaline soils. It grows best in full sun, and it will grow in almost any soil, from moist to dry and from acid to alkaline. Once established it is drought resistant, and usually free of pests or diseases. Some formative pruning as it develops is recommended. Allow plenty of room and height for its ultimate size when choosing a planting spot.
