Why it rocks:
Behold the vibrant Hot Wings® Maple! This tree is a showstopper with its fiery, red-winged samaras that playfully dance against its lush green leaves. Come spring, it puts on a show with clusters of bright white blossoms. As it matures, it forms a pleasingly round silhouette, its branches spreading wide. When autumn arrives, it lights up the scene with leaves turning shades of yellow and red-orange. Unlike other ornamental maple trees, Hot Wings can handle the chill of colder climates. It's not often you find a tree like Hot Wings® Maple, reliable yet daringly decorative.
Where to put it:
Hot Wings® Maple is the touch of flair your landscape’s been missing. Add color and texture to your yard— this tree functions well near patios, decks, and pathways for a bit of screening, and beneath utilities, adding elegance and charm to your outdoor living spaces. Be sure to plant this tree about 10 - 12 feet away from nearby buildings to allow room for its full mature spread to take shape.
What it needs:
Hot Wings® Maple thrives best in full sunlight, although it can tolerate partial shade. This cold-hardy tree is well-suited to various soils and site conditions throughout the Chicagoland area. Please follow our tree care instructions for the first few growing seasons to help establish a strong root system.
