Red Maple is a medium to large deciduous tree, typically reaching 40 to 70 feet tall with a spread of 30 to 50 feet. It develops a broad, rounded to oval crown, making it a popular choice for shade, street plantings, and naturalized landscapes.
Red Maple is known for its outstanding fall color, displaying vibrant shades of red, orange, and sometimes yellow. The specific hue can vary depending on soil type and genetics, but it’s one of the most reliable native trees for fall foliage in eastern North America.
Red Maple thrives in full sun to partial shade and adapts to a wide range of soil types, including clay, loam, and sand. It prefers moist, slightly acidic, well-drained soils, but it also tolerates wet soils, making it suitable for low-lying areas and rain gardens.
Red Maple is generally low-maintenance once established. It requires minimal pruning and is moderately tolerant of urban conditions, though compacted soils or drought can stress the tree. It is not deer-resistant—young trees may need protection from browsing in high-pressure areas.
Yes! Red Maple is a native keystone species that supports a wide range of wildlife. Its early spring flowers provide a valuable nectar source for bees, and its foliage supports numerous species of native caterpillars. The seeds (samaras) are eaten by squirrels, birds, and small mammals.
