Description

Acer October Glory has one of the more intense red leave colour than other maple trees.  It is a medium sized to large tree that requires minimal attention.  When mature the globe shape of October Glory makes it a great specimen tree for small and large gardens.  October is a bit of a surprise as in the spring it will produce tiny conspicuous red flowers that are showy against the backdrop of spring green leaves.  Like other maples, the palm shaped leaves will turn a striking scarlet colour in the autumn, giving October Glory the brightest fall foliage of all Maple Trees. 

Where to Plant

During the dull winter months, October Glory will show its red stem colour of last season's growth.  Plant full sun for best leaf performance, most soil types, clay, chalk, limestone, light sandy, well-draining.  Ultimate height and spread in about 20 years 5-10 metres.  Can be used for screening, garden tree, parkland areas.
