(Acer rubrum ‘Autumn Flame’)
This cultivar of Red Maple has an round shape
and is a fast grower with strong wood, reaching a
height of 45 to 50 feet. The crown is denser
and more uniform than the species. Unless irrigated or
on a wet site, red maple is best used north of USDA
hardiness zone 9. Trees are often shorter in the
southern part of its range unless growing next to a
stream or on a wet site. This tree is preferred over
Silver Maple or Boxelder when a fast growing maple
is needed. The newly emerging leaves and red flowers
and fruits signal that spring has come. They appear in
December and January in Florida, later in the northern
part of its range. The seeds of Red Maple are quite
popular with squirrels and birds.
