Royal Red Maple
Description
The Royal Red Maple is a popular, hardy, shade tree known for its dense, rounded canopy and intense, deep purple maroon foliage that lasts from spring through to fall. The most distinctive feature is its large, lobed leaves that emerge as a rich red in spring and maintain a deep, shimmering burgundy or purple red colour through the summer. In early spring, before leaves appear, the tree produces clusters of striking lemon yellow or yellow green flowers that contrast sharply with the dark branches. Unlike many green leaved maples that turn bright red, the Royal Red typically shifts into a deeper, dark purple or reddish bronze hue in autumn. For the best performance and colour retention, plant in full sunlight.
