Fairview Flame Red Maple is a native deciduous tree with a graceful upright rounded crown known for its stunning fall display.
The leaves emerge in spring with a reddish tint, which eventually turn vibrant green for summer before the rapid transitions of fiery shades lands on flame red and scarlet. It's a sight to behold!
Highly adaptable, but grows best in rich and moist well-drained soils.
