Red Sunset® Maple Tree

Growth rate: Fast growth rate, typically reaching a mature height of 40-60 feet with a similar width.

Please note: Images on our website depict plants and trees at full maturity to showcase their expected grown characteristics. These images are illustrative examples only and do not represent the size of plants or trees upon delivery.

Pruning: Prune as needed to maintain a healthy structure and remove dead or damaged branches. Pruning is best done during the dormant season.
Fertilization: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to promote healthy growth and vibrant fall color.
Winter Protection: Mulch the base of the tree to insulate its roots during harsh winter conditions, particularly in colder zones.

When planting Red Sunset Maple, choose a location with well-drained soil. Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball, position the tree at the same level as it was in the container, and water thoroughly after planting. Apply mulch to help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. Prune as needed to maintain its structure and shape, and fertilize in early spring to support healthy growth. This remarkable tree is an excellent choice for adding rapid growth, spectacular fall color, and resilience to your landscape.

Provide Red Sunset Maple with full sun to partial shade, ensuring it receives adequate sunlight for the most vibrant fall color display. While drought-tolerant once established, regular watering is important, especially during the tree's early years, to help it establish a strong root system.
