Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.

  • Description

  • Notes

This maple is known for its cinnamon colored, exfoliating bark and delicate, open habit. A lovely specimen tree with brilliant to rusty-red fall color. Usually multi-stemmed or low-branched single-stem. Slow growing to 25 feet tall and 15 to 20 feet wide. Ideally suited for a smaller garden or for grouping.
