    Frequently Asked Questions

    What are the benefits of red maple trees?

    First and foremost, their visual beauty is unmatched. Red maples are celebrated for their fiery fall foliage — glowing shades of crimson, orange, and gold — and for the red tint of their buds, flowers, and new stems in spring. This multi-season color interest gives your yard beauty year-round.
    How fast do red maple trees grow?

    Red maple trees grow moderately to fast, depending on conditions — typically 1 to 2 feet per year, though in ideal soil and moisture conditions, they can reach up to 3 feet of growth annually.
    In rich, moist, slightly acidic soil with full sun, red maples establish quickly and can reach 25 to 35 feet in their first 10–15 years. Mature trees generally top out between 40 to 70 feet tall with a wide, rounded canopy.

    Nice looking trees

    I received 2 red maples that were bare rooted, although I expected them to be in 1 quart pots. They appear to be healthy and I was happy that they were larger than I expected. I have planted them within hours of receipt and look forward to seeing them come to life. So far so good. Happy with a 2 for one order and great service and value.
