It has turned very cold in Texas so when the 2 Red Maple's came we put them in a container of potting soil and are keeping them in the house until the weather warms up a little. We've given them a name Kevin and Dana and are keeping watch over them now. Will plant them when the weather warms up and the first frost clears in Texas. Other than that ---does the RED MAPLE HAVE ANOTHER NAME---what kind of RED MAPLE is our trees???

Red Maple Tree (Acer rubrum)

Red Maple Tree: Acer rubrum, formerly Acer sanguineum, or the common name red maple, is an American native deciduous tree species. TN Nursery hears from customers who seek this stunning tree as a shade tree, accent tree, or specimen in their gardens. It grows in almost every region of the contiguous United States.

Other names for the red maple tree include the following:

  • Carolina Maple
  • Curled Maple
  • Scarlet Maple
  • Soft Maple
  • Swamp Maple

Red Maple Tree Instruction

The red maple tree is relatively easy to care for. You will meet its critical needs when you plant it. It starts with location --select a sunny site that will receive at least six hours of daily sunshine. The partial sun will also suffice, although the colors may be less brilliant.

This species adapts to many soil types but requires the soil to have woody material when you plant it. Think of the growing conditions in its native woods--which makes perfect sense! Amend the soil with hardwood mulch, peat moss, compost, or leaf litter. After planting, you will only need to mulch around the tree once in spring and again in the fall.

Once planted, the seedling needs about an inch of water every week, especially during the hottest summer days. However, the red maple tree will become drought-tolerant after the roots grow strong and healthy.

The tall and handsome looks of the Red Maple Tree.

The red maple tree can grow tall--up to 120 feet and with a 50-foot-wide canopy. The trunk can be upward of six feet in diameter! It is certainly impressive when it reaches its mature size.

Early spring brings large, showy magenta or bright red flowers that grow in charming clusters. They are a welcome sight and one of the earliest bloomers of spring. The blossoms have a light, floral fragrance that signals the arrival of spring.

The leaves unfurl in a soft green in the spring and deepen to a dark green shade. Leaves are three-lobed and can measure six inches long and two to four inches across. In the later part of the summer, the color changes again to a rich copper or red--giving the tree its name.
