Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This handsome sugar maple hybrid is very heat-tolerant having been discovered in the middle of Georgia where temperatures are regularly very high! Unlike many southern maples, however, this one actually has brilliant orange-red fall color. This beautiful tree reaches 50' tall by 35' and features pretty, lush, green foliage, a wonderful shade tree for those in warm climates! This is a fine selection from Athens Trees. S/M PP19807
