The Red Maple (Acer Rubrum) is a striking tree known for its vibrant red foliage, which provides stunning colour throughout the year. Native to North America, this fast-growing deciduous tree can reach impressive heights of up to 15-20 meters and is commonly found in a variety of landscapes, from parks to residential gardens.

The Red Maple is particularly renowned for its breath taking autumn display, where its leaves turn a brilliant red, offering a dramatic contrast to the surrounding greenery. It also boasts attractive clusters of red flowers in early spring, followed by small, winged seeds that flutter down in the breeze.

Ideal for a range of soil conditions, including wet or poorly drained areas, the Red Maple thrives in full sun to partial shade, making it a versatile and hardy addition to your garden. With minimal maintenance required, this tree is perfect for adding year-round beauty and seasonal interest, while its rapid growth ensures a quick, impactful transformation of your outdoor space. Whether planted as a specimen tree or as part of a mixed hedge, the Red Maple is an excellent choice for gardeners looking for a colourful, low-maintenance tree that thrives in various conditions.

The red maple requires a sunny position where it can display an eye catching display of bright reds and orange leaves in early Autumn. It is essential to water well newly planted trees and in hot dry spells give the equivalent of 2 bucket fulls every three days. Newly planted trees should be staked to help it to establish.  An easy tree to maintain.
