Sometimes called Scarlet Maple, Shoepeg Maple, or Swamp Maple, Acer rubrum most commonly known as Red Maple is an abundant, adaptable species, widely planted throughout North America & beyond. Red Maple grows in a vast natural range throughout the United States, Mexico, & north into both Western & Eastern Canada. It occupies a variety of diverse habitats, from bogs & bottomlands to cold mountain ridges, growing best in wetter areas. It is the State Tree of Rhode Island. A moderately fast grower, Red Maple usually grows to between 60 & 100 feet tall at maturity, with large, spreading canopies & showy flowers. Red twigs, branchlets, & buds give the Red Maple its name, as does the brilliant scarlet color of the tree’s foliage. The crimson leaves are especially florid in colder regions. The largest Red Maple on record is over 180 feet tall with a crown spread of 120 feet. Red Maple is often among the first trees to color-up in fall & one of the first to blossom in spring. This species makes a beautiful, seasonally-entertaining tree for a diverse array of locations. Acer rubrum is highly soil-tolerant, can grow in sun or shade, & is especially well-suited for use as a street, shade, or ornamental tree.
