Acer rubrum, commonly known as the Red Maple, is a versatile and striking tree, highly valued in UK gardens and landscapes. This deciduous tree is renowned for its vibrant autumn colours, with leaves turning from green to brilliant shades of red and orange. The Red Maple’s early spring flowers, red and sometimes yellow, add a splash of colour, making it one of the first trees to signal the end of winter.

Ideal for a variety of settings, Acer rubrum can adapt to a wide range of soil types, although it prefers slightly acidic, moist conditions. This adaptability, combined with its moderate growth rate, makes it suitable for many garden sizes and styles. The Red Maple typically reaches a height of 15-25 metres, providing a balanced structure and scale for larger landscapes.

In addition to its aesthetic appeal, the Red Maple plays a significant role in supporting local ecosystems. It provides habitat and food for wildlife, including birds and beneficial insects. Its dense canopy also offers shade and contributes to cooling the surrounding area, making it a practical choice for urban and suburban environments.

In summary, the Acer rubrum is a tree that offers both beauty and functionality. Its stunning autumn display, coupled with its environmental benefits and adaptability to various conditions, makes it a popular choice for those looking to enhance their outdoor spaces with a tree that provides year-round interest.
