Buy Ruby Sunset® Maple online. Discover Ruby Sunset® Maple, a compact and resilient hybrid crafted by Keith Warren of J. Frank Schmidt & Son Nursery. This small to medium-sized deciduous tree is a masterpiece of nature, blending the heat and drought tolerance of its Asian A. truncatum parent with the cold hardiness and adaptability of its European A. platanoides lineage. Perfect for urban gardens, tight spaces, or city streets, its tidy oval form and pollution tolerance make it a standout choice for homeowners and landscapers seeking a low-maintenance tree with high visual impact.
In spring, Ruby Sunset® Maple unfurls elegant, pale green leaves with a subtle purple blush, maturing to a rich, glossy dark green that resists summer heat and tattering. As autumn approaches, the foliage transforms into a mesmerizing display of deep ruby red with hints of orange, offering a bold contrast to typical fall palettes. These vibrant, lobed palmate leaves remain fresh and ornamental throughout the growing season, ensuring your landscape stays captivating year-round. Whether framing a cozy patio or lining a bustling boulevard, this tree delivers consistent beauty with minimal care.
Engineered for versatility, Ruby Sunset® Maple inherits a symmetrical growth habit and compact size, making it ideal for smaller sites where larger trees might overwhelm. Its hybrid vigor ensures it thrives in diverse conditions, from scorching summers to frigid winters, while its urban-friendly traits make it a top pick for city planners. Elevate your outdoor space with this stunning tree that promises durability, elegance, and a fiery fall spectacle.
