Red Maple (Acer rubrum) is an abundant, adaptable species, widely planted as a shade tree. Red twigs, branchlets, and buds give Red Maple its name, as does the brilliant scarlet color of the tree's fall foliage. Leaves have 3 to 5 lobes and are 2 to 4 inches across, shiny on top and pale below. A moderately fast grower, usually 60 to 100 feet tall (though specimens up to 180 feet-tall exist), Red Maple boasts a large, spreading canopy and showy flowers, and is often among the first trees to color-up in fall, especially in frosty areas. This is a beautiful, seasonally entertaining tree that is highly soil-tolerant and capable of thriving in many different settings. About Jonsteen's Seedlings All of our trees are seed-grown at our nursery on California's Redwood Coast, which is inspected monthly and licensed by the California Department of Agriculture. Trees can provide a natural barrier against high winds, temperatures, noise pollution and soil erosion, all while benefiting local air quality, wildlife and property values — a Jonsteen seedling will only grow in value and beauty! About Jonsteen's 100% Guarantee All of our trees are guaranteed to arrive healthy and in good condition. If your tree perishes despite your honest efforts, we will be happy to replace it with a small-sized seedling for just the cost of shipping/handling. You can learn more about our guarantee and tree replacement policy here. Size Chart Seedling Size Chart: Medium Due to the dynamic nature of actively growing trees, as well as the tremendous variation between species’ growth rates, we rely on the cubic volume of a seedling’s root mass to determine its “size” (Small / Medium / Large / XL). Within each size there is minor variance — the dimensions provided here represent the category minimum. If exact measurements are essential, please contact us about current stock.
