Red Maple
Red Maple (Acer rubrum) is one of the best named of all trees, featuring something red in each of the seasons—buds in winter, flowers in spring, leafstalks in summer, and brilliant foliage in autumn. This pageant of color, along with the red maple's relatively fast growth and tolerance to a wide range of soils, makes it a widely planted favorite. Boasts brilliant deep red or yellow fall color with red stems in winter.
Growth Rate: Fast
Soils: Acidic, Clay, Loamy, Moist, Rich, Sandy, Silty Loam
Moisture: Well Drained, Moist to Wet
Shade Tolerance: Full Sun, Partial Sun/Shade
Mature Height: 40-60 feet
Mature Spread: 30-50 feet
Deer Damage Potential: Moderate. The fruits (samaras) provide food for squirrels and many other rodents. Rabbits and deer eat the tender shoots and leaves of red maples.
