Strong, ascending branches form a dense, rounded crown. Numerous, small red flowers appear before the leaves in early spring, hence the name red maple. Its most outstanding ornamental feature is its stunning orange-red to red fall color.

• »  Vibrant outstanding red in the fall
• »  Great shade tree, but very intolerant of alkaline soils
• »  Fall color is not consistently red in the species, so this variety is much preferred
