Vibrant Red Maple

Looking to add a little color to your landscape? The fiery hue of the Red Maple is a beautiful variety that can successfully grow in numerous climates. While the Red Maple's origin stems from the eastern half of the U.S., it’s now considered one of the most widespread deciduous trees in the United States.

The Red Maple's adaptable root system allows it to thrive in various types of soil, ranging from moist to slightly dryer soils (red Maples are slightly drought tolerant). Its ability to adjust to its environment has helped it to become one of the most popular trees in North America.
