About this plant

Acer rubrum 'Brandywine' is an exceptional cultivar of the native Red Maple, celebrated for its spectacular, long-lasting fall foliage. This medium to large-sized deciduous tree develops a classic oval to upright rounded canopy, providing excellent shade in warmer months. 'Brandywine' stands out with its uniform growth habit and consistently vibrant autumn show, transitioning from lush green to an intense, glossy wine-red or deep purple that holds its color for several weeks, even in warmer fall climates. Ideal as a majestic shade tree, a focal point, or for lining avenues; its reliable beauty and adaptability make it a fantastic choice for both residential and commercial landscapes.

Care & maintenance

Generally low-maintenance once established. Ensure proper watering during the establishment phase. Prune in late summer or early fall to avoid sap bleeding. Fertilize young trees annually in spring with a balanced fertilizer. Monitor for common maple pests and diseases.
