Quick Overview

Sun Valley Maple is a remarkable variety of red maple introduced by the U.S. National Arboretum! This hybrid of the Red Sunset and Autumn Flame Maple is completely seedless and boasts a lush, oval crown that provides both shade and aesthetic appeal. In the spring, you can admire small clusters of red flowers that transition into rich green leaves during the summer, making it perfect for keeping your home cool. As autumn arrives, its sleek silvery-gray bark contrasts beautifully with the vibrant red foliage, creating a stunning visual effect. This low-maintenance tree is an excellent choice for enhancing residential yards and serves as a captivating focal point for an elegant landscape upgrade!

Why it rocks:

Sun Valley Maple is an exceptional hybrid created by the U.S. National Arboretum, resulting from the crossbreeding of Red Sunset Maple and Autumn Flame Maple. This entirely seedless tree is an attractive option for those seeking a low-maintenance landscape. In spring, Sun Valley Maple captivates observers with its small clusters of red flowers, offering a charming display that signals the onset of warmer weather. Its dense, oval crown provides visual appeal and ample shade during the hot summer months. As autumn arrives, Sun Valley Maple transforms dramatically, with its leaves showcasing vibrant red hues that create a stunning contrast against the tree's smooth silvery-gray bark. This striking combination not only enriches the fall landscape with color but also elevates the tree's ornamental appeal, making it a popular choice for both residential and commercial landscaping. Sun Valley Maple is a practical selection that will provide year-round interest and benefits.

Where to put it:

Sun Valley Maple trees should be positioned where its shade and beauty can be enjoyed year-round. This tree is an excellent option for parkways, as a striking accent in front yards, or in backyards where it can provide shade for patios and decks, creating a peaceful outdoor retreat. To enhance the energy-saving benefits of this tree, consider planting it on the east, west, or northwest sides of your home. Ensure that your Sun Valley Maple is at least 15 feet away from any buildings to allow it to grow into its full, oval shape.

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.
