Red Maple Cultivars

Acre rubrum

Red Maple cultivars are popular as lawn, street or shade trees. They have a a broad, rounded crown and grow to 25’-50’ tall, and 25’-35’ wide. Dark green summer foliage with very intense Fall color. These trees hold on to their beautiful autumn foliage longer than most other varieties. We have 4 different cultivated varieties (listed below).

"Brandywine" Maple "Sun Valley" Maple "Red Sunset" Maple "October Glory" Maple

Sun Valley Maples at our growing fields. Beautiful

"Sun Valley" Maple

Acer rubrum "Sun Valley"

Also introduced by the U.S National Arboretum, ‘Sun Valley’ is a cross between the ‘‘Red Sunset’ and ‘Autumn Flame’ varieties of Red Maple. It is a deciduous tree with a symmetrical, oval form with green Spring/Summer foliage and and brilliant red/orange fall color. This is a male selection that will not produce unwanted seedlings.

Foliage: Deciduous

Mature Height: 30-35 ft.

Mature Width: 20 ft.

Growth Rate: Medium to fast

Sunlight: Full Sun is best; partial sun OK.

Soil:. Adaptable, but prefers moist, slightly acid soil.

What to Expect the First Year: As with all newly-planted trees, these need to be watered carefully through the first Spring/Summer--see our "Care of Your Trees" section

for more details. Each year they are growing in our fields these trees leaf-out beautifully; but the first year after digging/planting they are putting their efforts into

establishing their roots. This causes them to have smaller leaves than they usually would. By the second year they should be back to normal.

Comments: Excellent as a street, lawn or shade tree. High tolerance for leaf-hoppers.

Sizes & Prices

All trees are B&B, single trunk. Limited numbers of these trees available in only one size:

Customer Satisfaction: Most important of all is what our customers think of us:

"I am really pleased with your work. You saved me several thousand dollars, steered me away from trees that wouldn't work, provided healthy and beautiful trees, did a great job planting them, and did everything on time and on schedule. You can quote me." Jo, Vashon Island

"Our privacy bank of trees has done nothing but grow well into maturity. Our back yard and deck area is totally private and the 10 trees your team planted [in 2005] are rich, leathery and dark green. We remark on them every day it seems. Please include me in any of your "Testimonials" as you would be hard pressed to find a more satisfied customer." Jim, Port Orchard

"For quality vs. value, your trees are the best landscape purchase I’ve ever made." Jeff, Seattle

"Michael, I just wanted to pass along a note to tell you how thrilled I am with the trees. The effect they have brought to our new courtyard in the front of our home here in Seattle has exceeded my expectations!" Chip Hanauer, Hydroplane Driver--Click Here to see his project.

"I work in customer service so I know good service when I experience it and you have my top rating. I would definitely recommend you to anyone who needs new landscaping. Thanks again.” Carol, Camano Island

"The [new] trees were a great privacy feature when we sold the last house! We now have a much larger space we want to talk with you about . . " Katherine, Fall City

“My compliments to your crew. We’ve had a lot of contractors working on our house recently and we’ve seen the entire range; and your guys were excellent. The trees make things look so much better—I started smiling as soon as I saw them going in." Holly, Queen Anne

"You guys are the best nursery I've ever done business with! And I have dealt with a few. You did what you said you would, on time with attention to detail rarely found. From the beginning of the quote process all the way through to the last detail you made it easy. And you work to ensure that the trees will thrive after planting with detailed advice, a complementary irrigation system, and a website filled with useful information. Most nurseries will just dump off the goods and tell you best of luck, put some water on them. You provide a quality product that sets you apart. Your crew was friendly, polite and operated as a well organized team. I would recommend you without hesitation! Thanks for doing a great job!” Ryan, Buckley

"We can not believe how beautiful your trees are. The privacy is unbelievable. If you ever need a testimonial let us know. Our yard is perfect! We sit there and say "my oh my”! Suzanne, Tacoma

"I don't think I've ever been as happy with something I've purchased." Sarah, Sammamish
