Quick Overview

Red Sunset® Red Maple is an exceptional variety known for its strong branching and dark, glossy green leaves, which transform into a brilliant red-orange hue in the fall. This remarkable tree is sure to make your neighbors envious and wishing they had one in their own yard!

Why it rocks:

Red Sunset® Red Maple is an outstanding variety known for its strong, symmetrical branching and rapid growth rate. In early spring, the tree displays small, dangling clusters of red flowers before its rich, glossy green leaves unfurl. In the fall, its leaves transform into a vibrant mix of red and orange. The tree's attractive canopy of dark green leaves offers ample shade and beauty during the hot summer months. With its upright, oval shape, the Red Sunset® Red Maple is an excellent choice for residential yards, adding stunning visual appeal to landscapes.

Where to put it:

Red Sunset® Red Maple should be planted in locations where you can fully enjoy its beautiful seasonal colors and the shade it offers. Given its mature size, make sure to plant it at least 15 feet away from buildings to allow for its full spread. This tree enhances the beauty and shade of parkways, front yards, backyards, or any area where a striking shade tree is desired.

What it needs:

Red Sunset® Red Maple flourishes in nearly any home landscape and is tolerant of semi-wet conditions. Please follow our tree care instructions for the first few growing seasons to help establish a strong root system.

Beautiful and High Quality

Very impressed with the quality of the tree and the professionalism of this company. The tree transformed our yard and brings so much life into the space. We ordered the 3.5" and it arrived a true 3.5" caliper +/- 20' tall tree. Just beautiful.
