October Glory Maple has deep glossy green foliage that turns to a deep fiery-red in the fall. This tree makes a great shade tree when it is mature. It is a fast growing red maple that will appear to be on fire in the fall. The tree has an overall rounded shape to the canopy and holds it leaves longer than most red maples. October Glory Maple prefers moist acidic soils to thrive.
Brilliant orange to deep-red autumn color makes this gorgeous, rounded 40-50' tree one of the glories of any fall landscape! This cultivar is a female form bearing attractive red flowers in the spring before the foliage emerges. The flowers later turn to red tinted samaras (winged seed pods). This wide spreading tree with its glossy, lobed leaves is a glorious shade tree for summer too. S/M-W PP2116
