Red, Swamp or Scarlet Maple   Acer rubrum

Red Maple is a handsome native tree growing up to 60', developing a round head of leaves with silver undercolor. Red Maple is a beautiful tree from spring thru winter but the outstanding color of Red Maple leaves in the fall is their favored quality. A sure sign of spring in the Midwest is the dropping of the Red Maple flower clusters. The flowers litter the ground in March or April. The seed pods of Red Maple are the familiar little helicopters which drop in May or June. Red Maple has silver-gray bark with leaves starting out green with a reddish tint in the spring turning brilliant crimson to yellow in fall. Red Maple can have a wide variation of fall color. Be aware that only the cultivars such as Autumn Blaze, Northfire, Northwoods, October Glory Red Sunset and other cultivars can guarantee a particular fall color. Red Maple grows to 60' in height, in the forest it can grow taller. Michigan has the tallest Swamp Maple at 179'. Red Maple is a fast growing tree, faster growing than a Sugar Maple but somewhat slower growing than a Silver Maple. The Red Maple transplants easily bare root, balled and burlapped or with root bags and is sometimes dug in mid summer. Red Maples are hardy from zone 3 to 9 which covers most of the United States.  Red Maple grows well in all types of soil and can be planted in wet areas.
