Why it rocks:
Redpointe® Red Maple was introduced by J. Frank Schmidt, combines the Red Maples brilliant form and foliage with the Autumn Blaze Maples faster growth rate.

Its beautiful red Fall color is a fantastic stand out feature for any yard or landscape.
Where to put it:
Redpointe® Red Maple should be planted where you can most enjoy its color and shade. Because of its size, it should be planted at least 15ft from buildings to allow it plenty of room for its beautiful shade. Parkways, front yards, and backyards are great locations for this popular tree.
What it needs:
