Norway Maple ‘Crimson King’ – Acer platanoides is a breathtaking ornamental tree that adds a burst of rich, dark purple foliage to any garden. This stunning cultivar of the Norway Maple is highly sought after for its unique leaf colour, which provides a striking contrast against the lush green hues of other plants in your outdoor space. The ‘Crimson King’ is a medium to large-sized tree, reaching a mature height of 12-15 metres, with a rounded, dense canopy that offers ample shade during the warmer months.
Throughout the growing season, the leaves of the ‘Crimson King’ maintain their deep, crimson-purple colour, creating a captivating display that is sure to draw the admiration of all who see it. In the autumn, the foliage transforms into a spectacular array of red and bronze shades before falling to the ground, revealing the tree’s attractive, grey-brown bark during the winter months.
The Norway Maple ‘Crimson King’ is not only prized for its aesthetic appeal but also for its adaptability and resilience. This tree is well-suited to a variety of soil types and can tolerate both full sun and partial shade, making it an excellent choice for gardens with varying conditions. It is also relatively low-maintenance, requiring minimal pruning to maintain its naturally attractive shape.
Whether planted as a standalone specimen tree or incorporated into a mixed border, the Norway Maple ‘Crimson King’ is sure to make a lasting impression in your garden. Its vibrant foliage and robust growth habit make it an ideal choice for gardeners looking to add a touch of drama and sophistication to their outdoor space.
To ensure your Norway Maple ‘Crimson King’ thrives in your garden, plant it in a location that receives full sun to partial shade. This tree is adaptable to various soil types but prefers well-draining soil that is moderately moist. Water your tree regularly during its first growing season to help establish a strong root system, and then provide water during extended dry periods. Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of the tree to help retain moisture and suppress weed growth. Pruning should be done in late winter or early spring to remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches, and to maintain the tree’s desired shape.
