Description
October Glory Red Maple is a standout shade tree for Massachusetts, known for its rich red fall color that lasts longer than most maples. In early spring, clusters of red flowers line its branches, creating a striking display before the foliage emerges. The deep green summer leaves transition to a brilliant crimson in autumn, making it a seasonal showstopper.
With its symmetrical oval form, October Glory Red Maple adds elegance and structure to any landscape. The silver-gray bark and brick-red branches provide year-round interest, even after the leaves drop. Ideal for streets, boulevards, and spacious yards, this resilient red maple thrives in well-drained, slightly acidic soils across Massachusetts.
Our trees are sold by height (younger trees) or by caliper (more mature trees), ensuring you find the perfect size for your landscape needs. This tree is available by trunk caliper, at 2-2.5 in. size, for a more mature, developed option.
