Acer truncatum × platanoides 'Crimson Sunset'
Acer truncatum × platanoides ‘Crimson Sunset’, known as the 'Crimson Sunset' hybrid maple, is a medium-sized ornamental tree renowned for its intense purple foliage and high tolerance to urban conditions. A cross between the Shantung maple and the Norway maple, it combines excellent resistance to heat, drought, and pollution with a dense and regular silhouette. Its broad leaves, deep red from spring to fall, maintain a stable color without summer greening. Its oval to rounded habit makes it an excellent choice as a street tree, shade tree, or specimen tree in modern landscape designs. Undemanding and robust, it adapts to a wide variety of well-drained soils and offers a sustained visual impact throughout the season.
