Family Sapindaceae

Acer rubrum ‘Red Sunset’ is a spectacular ornamental red maple highly valued for its flamboyant autumn foliage, offering vibrant red, burnt orange, and sometimes purple hues, which illuminate flowerbeds, driveways, or large gardens in the fall. During the growing season, its glossy green foliage elegantly structures the landscape, while its rounded and well-proportioned silhouette makes it an ideal choice as a focal point, accent tree, or specimen. Very hardy and adaptable to a variety of moist, well-drained soils, this maple prefers a sunny to partial shade exposure, allowing it to fully develop the intensity of its seasonal colors.
