Red Maple '( Redpointe' is a large deciduous shade tree. A vigorous, broadly pyramidal red maple selected for outstanding heat tolerance, strong central leader, and brilliant, consistent red fall color that develops earlier and lasts longer than many other selections. 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.
