Sun Valley Red Maple

Why it rocks:

Sun Valley Red Maple is a U.S. National Arboretum introduction that glows in the fall with reliable bright red color. A hybrid between Red Sunset Maple and Autumn Flame Maple, it is completely seedless and features a very uniform, dense oval head. 

Where to put it:

Sun Valley 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:

Sun Valley Red Maple thrives in almost any home landscape. This tree will benefit from well drained soil conditions, and shouldn’t be planted where it can be over exposed to salt.
