Quick Overview

Sun Valley Maple is a hybrid from the U.S. National Arboretum, created by crossing Red Sunset Maple and Autumn Flame Maple. This seedless tree features a dense, oval crown and produces small clusters of red flowers in spring, followed by lush dark green leaves in summer. Its uniform canopy offers shade, promoting energy savings when planted strategically around homes. In fall, its smooth silvery-gray bark contrasts beautifully with its vibrant red foliage. Ideal for enhancing parkways and transforming outdoor spaces, this low-maintenance tree is an excellent choice for adding shade and beauty to landscapes.

Why it rocks:

Sun Valley Maple is a remarkable introduction from the U.S. National Arboretum, created by hybridizing Red Sunset Maple and Autumn Flame Maple. This tree is entirely seedless and boasts a consistently dense, oval crown. As a classic shade tree, it displays delicate clusters of red flowers in spring, followed by attractive dark green foliage. In summer, its uniform canopy offers respite from the sweltering heat, providing energy savings when strategically positioned around the home. During autumn, the smooth silvery-gray bark contrasts against its traditional red fall foliage. Sun Valley Maple is a vibrant, low-maintenance tree that promises to enhance your landscape with shade and beauty for many years to come!

Where to put it:

Sun Valley Maple will enhance parkways, where its beauty can be appreciated, and will turn your front or backyard into a serene outdoor oasis. To maximize this tree’s energy savings benefits, consider planting it on the east, west, or northwest sides of your home. Plant your Sun Valley Maple at least 15 feet away from buildings, giving it space to develop into its full, oval form.

What it needs:

Sun Valley Red Maple is remarkably versatile and can thrive in nearly any setting. It prefers moist, well-drained soil and does best in areas protected from excessive road salt exposure. As a completely seedless variety, it is a clean and low-maintenance option. For the first few growing seasons, please adhere to our tree care guidelines to support the development of a strong & healthy root system.
