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.

All our stock is “lifted” to order, which means that they are “lifted” and packed the same day and sent off so delivery is made the following day hence you receive them as fresh as possible. They are well packed and they are able to stay in the bags they arrive in for up to 7/10 days out of any frosts but it is advisable to plant bareroot trees as soon as possible. We are able to give you a suitable delivery date after the order has been placed when we email your order of acknowledgement to you. Unlike other nurseries who usually say within 3-5 days we can give you a definite day.

As soon as we receive your order we can usually send these out within the week. We use a courier and a signature will be required UNLESS you inform us (in the comments box) of where you would like your goods left safely should you not be at home. It is possible to select a day (apart from week-ends and Fridays) when ordering.
