RED MAPLES

The Vibrant Hues and Brilliant Wood of a New England Classic

October glory, autumn blaze, ruby frost ... the names for the varieties of the American red maple tree signify the vibrant colors this tree shows off in the fall. Each variety grows well in Connecticut, up to a medium-large size of 45–60 feet, only differing in the range of reds and oranges its leaves change to as autumn sets in. The red maple, Acer rubrum , is a fast growing, strong-wooded

maple tree. It is native to eastern North America, commonly found from Maine down to Florida, and grows in ecosystems ranging from misty woods to rocky uplands. One of the most common trees in America, the red maple is hardy, and its ability to grow quickly makes it a landscaper’s dream. They grow easily when planted properly and can tolerate full sun. After a year in the ground, a new tree’s roots are established, and it will start growing fast into a beautiful shade tree that will last for decades and, true to its name, burst into crimson and scarlet hues come September and October. Did you know that in addition to tree removal, we also specialize in tree planting? Tree planting is our favorite service we offer. You can

reach Susan at (860) 305-8762. With her 20 years of experience, she’s a pro at exploring options for your spring planting.
