Brandywine Maple
Acer rubrum 'Brandywine'
This compact, well-balanced tree typically grows as wide as it is tall, especially in multi-stemmed varieties. Ideal as a small specimen tree, patio accent, privacy screen, or mass planting, it adds visual interest along blank walls of larger buildings. Its bright green foliage in summer transforms into a stunning orange-crimson display in the fall, making it a standout choice for seasonal color and landscape appeal. Thrives in average, medium to wet, well-drained soil and adapts to full sun or partial shade. Tolerant of a variety of soil types, it prefers moist, slightly acidic conditions. Exceptionally cold-hardy, making it a resilient choice for diverse climates.
