Description
Bowhall Red Maple is a striking columnar tree that brings year-round beauty to any landscape. Its narrow, upright form makes it an excellent choice for small spaces, streetscapes, and urban gardens. In early spring, vibrant clusters of red flowers emerge along its branches, followed by lush green foliage that first appears with a reddish hue. As fall arrives, its lobed leaves transform into a breathtaking display of fiery oranges and reds. The tree’s silver-furrowed bark and red-tinged branches add texture and visual interest throughout the year.
Growing up to 50 feet tall with a slender 15-foot spread, the Bowhall Red Maple thrives in full sun and adapts well to moist, well-draining soils. It prefers acidic conditions and may develop yellowing foliage in alkaline soils. With a medium growth rate and a lifespan of 80 years or more, this low-maintenance tree is ideal for creating vertical interest and seasonal color in landscapes. Whether used as a focal point, a privacy screen, or a street tree, Bowhall Red Maple offers both elegance and resilience.
