Acer platanoides 'Crimson Sentry'
Acer platanoides 'Crimson Sentry', also known as 'Crimson Sentry' Norway maple, is a selection with a narrow columnar habit, ideal for small lots, informal hedges, or street tree plantings. It is distinguished by its glossy dark purple foliage, which is denser and more compact than that of the classic 'Crimson King'. Its well-structured vertical silhouette provides both verticality and contrast in landscape designs, while offering moderate and elegant shade. Its foliage retains its purple hue throughout the season, then turns coppery red in autumn, creating a strong visual effect. Undemanding and very hardy, 'Crimson Sentry' tolerates urban pollution, poor soils, and difficult conditions well, while requiring little maintenance. It is a functional and ornamental choice, perfectly suited to Quebec's climate.
