Acer rubrum
Acer rubrum, also known as red maple, is an iconic indigenous tree of the North American landscape, prized for its vibrant foliage and elegant silhouette. Highly versatile, it offers ornamental interest throughout the four seasons, with early reddish blooms, bright green or slightly bluish foliage, and especially spectacular autumnal coloration ranging from scarlet red to intense orange. Its naturally upright to rounded habit, remarkable hardiness, and ability to adapt to various soil types make it an excellent choice for solitary plantings, parks, or residential alignments. Highly valued for its rapid growth, tolerance to urban conditions, and ecological appeal, the red maple is a classic of Quebec landscapes, both for decorative uses and biodiversity.
