Quick Overview

Northern Glow® Maple is a beloved choice among landscapers and homeowners alike, known for its intricate foliage and resilience in colder climates. In spring, it gracefully unfolds delicate bronze-green leaves, accompanied by charming small clusters of red and yellow flowers. As summer arrives, its branches become lush with green leaves, creating a serene canopy. In the fall, this tree transforms into a breathtaking display of red-orange and deep red hues, captivating all who behold it. By planting Northern Glow® Maple, you can infuse your garden or courtyard with Asiatic elegance and tranquility.

Why it rocks:

Northern Glow® Maple is a hybrid of Japanese and Korean Maples, cultivated by Dr. Ed Hasselkus in Madison, WI. Its standout features include a refined form and intricate characteristics that echo those of Japanese Maples, along with the cold hardiness inherited from the Korean Maple. While most Japanese Maples flourish in Zone 5, the Northern Glow is resilient in Zone 4, making it ideal for landscapes around the Chicago area. With its graceful, upright, and wide-spreading branches, this tree boasts lush green leaves in summer, which transform into a stunning palette of bright red-orange to deep red hues in the fall. Introduce a touch of ancient Asian beauty to your home landscape by planting a Northern Glow® Maple.

Where to put it:

Northern Glow® Maple should be thoughtfully positioned in your landscape to maximize its beauty and protect it. Although this tree is more resilient and cold-hardy than many Japanese Maples, it thrives best when planted in a sheltered area near your home. Consider placing it on the eastern side of buildings and structures to shield it from strong winds. It works well as an understory planting alongside tall shade trees such as Oak, Kentucky Coffee Tree, or Hackberry. Ideal locations for this tree include gardens, courtyards, or landscape beds that anchor your home.

What it needs:

Northern Glow® Maple thrives best in dappled shade rather than direct sunlight, which can lead to leaf scorch. While it requires protection from strong winds, it remains adaptable. Promote a strong and healthy root system, and adhere to our tree care instructions during the initial growing seasons.
