Red Maple (Acer rubrum) is one of North America’s most adaptable and widely recognized native trees, prized for its brilliant fall color and ecological versatility. From Newfoundland to southern Florida to Texas, wetlands to upland forests, this species thrives across a range of soil types and moisture conditions, making it a reliable choice for restoration, shade, and ornamental plantings.
In spring, Red Maple produces clusters of red flowers that support early-season pollinators.
Mature trees reach 40 to 70 feet tall with a rounded crown and smooth gray bark that darkens and furrows deeply with age.
Hardy in Zones 3–9, Red Maple is fast-growing and tolerant of urban stress, making it ideal for streetscapes, riparian buffers, and wildlife corridors.
Interestingly, research has found chemical properties of sap from red maple trees has anti-cancer properties in human cancer cells.
