The Florida Flame Red Maple can be found throughout the state of Florida and is a proven performer in producing colorful beauty for our landscapes. Itās worthy of recognition for its warm, red color during the growing season, progressing to a bright green as it matures, before returning to a brilliant āflameā color just before the leaves drop. These leaves have the familiar, multi-pointed maple leaf shape and a soft texture. Their crowns are dense and they make ideal shade trees as they reach maturity with an upright and oval shaped height of 50 - 60 feet with a spread of 25 - 35 feet.
Florida Flame Red Maple grows best in full sun but will tolerate partial shade. It is quite adaptable to different soil types and conditions in northern regions. In Florida, and other heat intensive locations, the Florida Flame Red Maple is dependent on wet areas for peak performance, with supplemental irrigation when planted in well-drained soils. No matter what landscape this stunning beauty is featured in, whether itās a street or specimen tree, woodland garden or scenic forest, the Florida Flame Red Maple stands out for its admirable attributes and striking presence.
