Red Maple 'Armstrong' is a large deciduous shade tree. A strongly upright, narrow columnar red maple with excellent cold hardiness. The very tight, columnar form makes it an outstanding choice for restricted spaces where a tall, narrow shade tree is desired. Adapts to a wide range of soils including wet sites. Thrives in full sun. One of the most widely adaptable and cold-hardy native shade trees in North America. A top-choice lawn, street, and park tree prized for its strong structure, rapid establishment, and spectacular orange-red to scarlet fall color.
