Acer Platanoides 'Royal Red'

Royal Red Maple


Acer Platanoides ‘Royal Red’
This Norway maple selection is similar to ‘Crimson King’, but with a somewhat slower growth rate and what some consider slightly better color. A dense shade tree, it has a straight trunk with a well-shaped canopy. The glossy foliage is an excellent maroon red all season.
