Acer rubrum 'Autumn Red'

Canadian Maple

This is a very common deciduous tree in North America. It is a beautiful rounded tree for Autumn colour selection, although leaves stay green longer than other varieties before turning bright orange to deep red. All parts of the tree, for example flowers, twigs and seeds, are red in varying shades.
