Famous for its Brilliant, Easy-Growing Foliage

Why American Red Maple Trees?

Vibrant color and rich reds are synonymous with the American Red Maple Tree. The Red Maple truly earns its name, with its red flowers in early spring, red twigs of new growth, and spectacular red leaves in fall. Its dazzling fall show is further diversified with a few orange or gold shades under certain weather conditions.

Even better, the American Red Maple adapts to any environment. The American Red Maple Tree is one of the most populous trees in the eastern U.S. because it adapts so well to many different environments. It is quite drought tolerant, but will grow in wet boggy areas, especially in the Southern portion of its range.

Plus, this ultra-strong Maple grows in nearly any soil type, from sandy loam to heavy clay. And though its leaf colors can be affected by less-than-ideal conditions, it even tolerates pollution and an urban environment.

Why Trees.com is Better

For starters, its dense foliage makes it ideal to place near a deck or in your front yard. Not only will it provide excellent protection from the summer sun, but it will also boast a brilliant show in fall.

The tree is doing good.

The tree is doing good. What should I do for over Winter?

Trees.com Plant ExpertHi Frank, thank you for writing to us! Hearing that your Red Maple is thriving brings a big smile to our team. To give your tree the best winter protection, you will want to focus on three key steps before winter sets in. First, give it a root zone mulch blanket by applying a 2 to 3-inch layer of organic mulch around the root area, keeping it 2 inches away from the trunk stem so moisture doesn't cause bark rot. Second, practice deep fall hydration by watering 1–2 times a week until the ground freezes; moist soil retains ground heat far better than dry dirt, keeping the feeder roots insulated. Finally, add trunk protection using a plastic tree guard or wrap to prevent deer rubbing and sunscald from freeze/thaw cycles, and stop applying fertilizer now so the tree enters dormancy naturally. We wish you and your maple a wonderful winter rest!

Beautiful Tree

Our red maple arrived in a timely manner and we planted it within 24 hours. It has taken nicely to it's new location and gets daily sun with no other trees around. Look forward to growing with our red maple.

Happy tree, happy growth

Planted Fall 2021 in drought. Ag zone 6b, full sun, hot drought years, -10 to 10 F low winters. Survived deer and moose damage 😉. After yr 2, growth rate about 4-5 ft a year. 25 feet tall. Beautiful reds in October Looking forward to even more shade in the coming years!

Media from review #1
Trees.com Plant ExpertHi Anne, what a resilient maple! Surviving drought, winter lows, deer, and even moose while growing to around 25 feet is quite an accomplishment. The bright red fall display must make it especially rewarding to have in the landscape!

Arrived very healthy and great customer service

I had ordered two 3/4 foot maple trees and received an email that they had upgraded my trees to 5/6 foot free of charge, due to the quality of the smaller trees at that time! Was a nice surprise and I received my trees in a timely fashion. They were packed carefully and were very healthy and green when unboxed. Gave 4 stars for only problem- the delivery carrier was very careless with the box- left it upside down against the garage even though the box clearly states Fragile! Live trees! Lay Gently on Side! 😬 So a large 6-12 inch section was broken off the top of one tree, and the mulch and dirt had spilled everywhere, along with broken branches on both. I planted both and they seem to be thriving and getting new growth already so I am happy! Will definitely use Fast Growing Trees again, but hopefully a different delivery driver 🙂

Trees.com Plant ExpertHi Heidi, thank you for sharing your feedback! We are delighted that you loved the surprise tree upgrade and that both of your Red Maples are already showing off new growth in the ground. However, we are so sorry about the carrier's rough handling and the broken top branch. We will definitely share this feedback with the shipping carrier to hold them accountable. Our team is always here to offer care tips to make sure your trees thrive, and we hope we can give you a true 5-star experience next time. Please don't hesitate to reach out!
