Acer rubrum ‘Red Rocket’
Acer rubrum ‘Red Rocket’ is a highly sought-after ornamental red maple, prized for its flamboyant scarlet-red autumn foliage that instantly transforms beds, pathways, and large gardens in the fall, while offering an elegant architectural presence with its narrow, upright silhouette. In season, its rich green foliage in spring and summer brings freshness and structure, while its decorative samaras add further interest. This hardy tree adapts well to a variety of moist, well-drained soils and prefers full sun to partial shade, combining seasonal color, dynamic form, and easy maintenance for both residential and urban landscapes.
