RedSunset

‘Red Sunset’, 'Autumn Blaze' and ‘October Glory’ have proven to be the best cultivars of Red Maples. ‘Red Sunset’ has strong
wood and is a vigorous, fast-grower, reaching a height of 50 feet with a spread of 25 to 35 feet.

This tree is preferred over Red Maple, Silver Maple or Boxelder when a fast-growing maple is needed, and will take on a
pyramidal or oval silhouette. The newly emerging 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. Leaves retain an attractive high gloss throughout the growing
season. The seeds of ‘Red Sunset’ Red Maple are quite popular with squirrels and birds.

Red sunset maple trees are relatively fast growers, and can grow up to two feet per year until maximum height has been
reached. In the fall, the foliage of red sunset maple trees turns a beautiful crimson orange, and is one of the most beautiful trees
during this time.

Red sunset maple trees prefer full sun, but will also grow in full shade. They are widely adaptable in the soils in which they
grow. Hardy in zones four through eight, they make excellent additions to any landscape or home garden. Red sunset maple
trees are highly ornamental, especially during the flowering period and in the fall months, but have lovely color year round.
