Quick Overview

Rugged Ridge® Maple truly embodies its name! The tree features deeply furrowed, corky bark that not only enhances the visual appeal of the landscape but also protects the tree from sunscald and harsh winter elements. Its canopy of dark green leaves transforms into a brilliant yellow-gold in autumn, illuminating yards and parkways. This tree is ideal for challenging urban environments and serves beautifully as a large, eye-catching shade tree in spacious residential areas.

Why it rocks:

Rugged Ridge® Maple showcases deeply furrowed, corky bark and a densely branched, upright oval canopy. This impressive shade tree boasts dark green leaves, distinct rugged bark, and vibrant fall colors, enhancing the landscape with life and texture. Both landscapers and homeowners are attracted to this tree for its reliability and the ornamental appeal it provides as a large shade tree. A vigorous grower, it withstands harsh winter conditions thanks to its thick, protective bark. In the fall, Rugged Ridge® Maple brightens the landscape with its radiant yellow-gold foliage. Plant this tree to enjoy its year-round benefits, including increased property value, reduced energy costs from its cooling shade during hot summer months, and the captivating beauty of its autumn colors.

Where to put it:
