Description
Sun Valley Red Maple (Acer rubrum 'Sun Valley') is a striking ornamental tree prized for its vivid red spring blooms and brilliant scarlet fall foliage. With its upright, oval form and symmetrical branching, this male cultivar offers a tidy, seedless canopy, making it an ideal low-maintenance shade or accent tree for home landscapes.
This fast-growing deciduous tree thrives in full sun and moist, acidic, well-draining soil. Hardy in Zones 4–8, it offers a colorful display from early spring, when red flower clusters emerge before the leaves, through fall, when the deeply lobed green leaves shift to intense crimson. Silver bark and red-toned branches provide additional year-round texture and appeal.
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 2.5-3 in. size, for a more mature, developed option.
Each plant comes with the roots balled & burlapped. The image shown represents an example of what you may receive. Please note that the height, shape, and fullness of each plant may vary due to natural growth patterns. Rest assured, we will select the healthiest and most vibrant plant for you.
