Outstanding large fall color tree. Bright orange to deep reddish-purple foliage color is reliable even in warmer climates not ideally suited for good color. The leaves are retained later than most cultivars. This maple produces a tall, rounded form bearing light green foliage in spring and summer. A super choice for high profile shade tree in front or backyard. Well suited to larger sites in groves for dramatic effect. Line a drive or boulevard for stately entry. Deciduous. Full sun. Moderate to fast growing 40 to 50 feet tall, 30 to 40 feet wide.

Once established, reduce frequency; prefers regular moisture but tolerates drier soils. Apply fertilizer before new growth begins in spring.
