Acer rubrum, commonly known as the red maple, is a versatile deciduous tree native to eastern North America. It features a rounded to oval crown with a medium to fast growth rate. The foliage is medium green with silvery undersides, turning brilliant shades of red, orange, or yellow in autumn. Small red flowers appear in late winter before the leaves emerge. It thrives in full sun to part shade and adapts to various soil types, from wet bottomlands to dry uplands, making it an ideal shade tree.
