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 and beyond. Red Maple grows in a vast natural range throughout the United States, Mexico, and north into both Western and Eastern Canada. It occupies a variety of diverse habitats, from bogs and bottomlands to cold mountain ridges, growing best in wetter areas.
A moderately fast grower, Red Maple usually grows to between 60 and 100 feet tall at maturity, with large, spreading canopies and showy flowers. Red twigs, branchlets, and 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 and 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, and is especially well-suited for use as a street, shade, or ornamental tree.
It's growing!!
Just thought I'd share this just in case you were wondering if this little Maple tree kit really works.
This is kind of strange I'm sure but I recently had a 14 year old kitty pass away and I wanted to plant something on her grave that she would like. She loved to climb an old maple tree at our previous home so I thought growing one for her would be perfect here at our new propertywe just bought! My little seeds are still hanging out in the refrigerator at this time but in a few days I will be able to take them out and see if they start growing! I can't wait to see what happens.
What a great idea for gifts or for an activity to do with your kids. I give this 5 stars for sure
I bought this as a gift for a friend and got one for myself! I can’t wait to plant it!!
