What we love about the
®
Redpointe Maple.
Autumn beckons for change as humans layer up for warmth, birds quell their singing, and trees don generous flamboyant fall colors. Not to
be outdone, the Redpointe ® Maple graces the scene, like a bright flame juxtaposed against the greying skyline. Beauty and unique character
paired with ease of culture make the Redpointe ® Maple an easy addition to the fall landscape.
Here are a few things that we love about the Redpointe ® Maple.

Uniform growth throughout multiple seasons reduces pruning and
maintenance requirements and also maintaining an attractive
aesthetic. This tree holds a classic teardrop shape with natural
branch angles and symmetrical canopy development. Leaves
maintain a fresh, deep-green color throughout the summer, even
throughout the heat. Smaller and pest tolerant leaves reliably
deliver stunning, deep red colors in the fall.

The Redpointe ® Maple is tolerant of higher pH soils and will
provide dazzling fall colors earlier than other trees. Many maples
are grown in areas with a high soil pH, which often encourages
leaf chlorosis, especially during the warmer summer months. This
variety of North American adapted species has been improved
to resist yellowing and chlorosis, as well as anthracnose, spider
mites, and leafhoppers.
This adaptability to a variety of local climates and soil types is one
of the strengths of this tree. It persistently insists on providing the
earliest, brightest, and highest quality color that adds a wonderful
aesthetic to any landscape.
Ease of Culture
Vigorous and symmetrical canopy growth keeps fresh all summer
long. With a six-foot clearance from the ground at maturity,
expect a total of 45 feet in height, spreading about 30 feet wide.
Lower branches can be pruned to allow for higher clearance. This
fast growing three should be pruned only after leaves have fully
developed in the summer, and can live for over 80 years.
Colorful red branches and silvery bark add accents, especially
at the emergence of eye-catching red flowers in the early spring.
For vigorous growth, plant this tree in full sunlight as an accent
or shade tree. One of the benefits of the Redpointe maple is its
adaptability, which allows it to be successful in average to wet
conditions, and even tolerating moderate standing water.
Made for the Urban Landscape
Shallow roots are adaptable to a variety of soil conditions, making
the Redpointe maple a win for the urban landscape. Straight
upright growth does not threaten to obstruct urban activities, and
sturdy branches are attractive from all angles. Landscapers and
homeowners can revel in the consistency and reliability in shape
as well as low maintenance needs.
When spring leaves emerge for a dazzling display, trees
contribute to the visual and physical aesthetics of the landscape.
Female blossoms do not release pollen, which is a welcome relief
for those who suffer from allergies. Paired with a high tolerance
for urban pollution, this tree is a net positive for air quality.
With so many features to love, there is so much to admire about
the Redpointe® Maple. Vibrant colors, ease of culture, and
consistency for years to come, this tree is a wonderful addition
to any skyline.
