The Magic of Maples
Few trees can rival the breathtaking beauty of maples in autumn. From fiery oranges and deep reds to rich burgundy tones, maples add year-round interest and truly shine as the seasons change. If you’ve been thinking about adding a tree to your yard, fall is one of the best times to plant. Cooler temperatures help trees establish strong roots before next year’s growing season, setting them up for long-term success.
Here are some outstanding maple varieties we love:
Autumn Blaze Maple
Our most popular and fastest-growing maple! The Autumn Blaze combines the best traits of red and silver maples, offering vivid scarlet fall color and rapid growth. It’s a great choice if you want a big impact in your landscape quickly.
Royal Red Maple
Looking for something truly unique? The Royal Red maple boasts dark wine-red leaves all season long, not just in autumn. Its bold, dramatic foliage stands out in any landscape and adds color from spring through fall.
Sugar Maple
A true native to our region, the Sugar Maple is known for its brilliant bright orange fall color. It’s also one of the best shade trees for summer comfort, with a strong branching structure and long life span.
Brandywine Maple
Not every yard has room for a towering tree, which makes the Brandywine maple a wonderful option. This compact, seedless variety matures at 25’ tall by 12’ wide—perfect for smaller yards, front gardens, or tight spaces. Its rich red fall color makes a dramatic seasonal statement.
Planting Maples for Success
When you bring home a maple, you’re investing in beauty that will last for generations. To give your new tree the best start:
Choose the right spot. Maples thrive in full sun and prefer well-drained soil. Think about how large your tree will grow at maturity.
Water deeply. Newly planted trees need consistent watering for their first couple of seasons. A slow, deep soak encourages strong root growth.
Protect your investment. Tree guards protect young trunks from critters, while watering bags ensure the right amount of moisture without the hassle.
