Maple Trees

Red Sunset Maple Tree - Height: 40-50ft, Width: 30-40ft. Interest: Fall Foliage Color. A great shade tree with a fiery red fall color that's simply stunning! Fairly quick growing with bright green, textured summer foliage, this selection has a stately pyramidal to rounded form and holds up well in any landscape. Full to partial sun tolerant.

Sugar Maple Tree - Height: 60-70ft, Width: 50-60ft. Interest: Fall Foliage Color. Here's the tree that made New England famous! It's easy to see why this tree is so prized once you look at its broadly oval to round form and its thick but not impenetrable canopy of dark green, trident shaped leaves that provide medium shade from the summer's heat. Its shade and canopy is not just appreciated by humans, it is an essential American Beauties plant to provide cooling, nesting, and cover for a multitude of our area's birds. Of course, the biggest show for us humans comes when, as September cools, this plant's foliage explodes into a mixture of yellow, orange, and red that always keeps those leaf peepers coming back for more! Plant in full to partial sun for best color.

Maintenance Tip:
Prune in late winter or early spring to remove dead or crossing branches, but avoid heavy pruning during peak sap flow. Water during prolonged dry periods, especially for young trees, and apply mulch around the base to conserve moisture. Fertilize lightly in early spring if growth appears slow.
