**Dormancy Note - This plant is currently dormant for the winter! It is available for purchase! Your delivered plant may be dormant, or showing very little top growth. However, you can still plant! These plants are putting all their energy into root production, so they will be ready to thrive in the spring! If you have any issues with your plant the following peak season, you can fill out our return request form to request a replacement plant.

The Armstrong Red Maple features a columnar or fastigiate shape, meaning it grows in a narrow and upright form. This makes it an excellent choice for landscapes with limited space or for creating vertical interest. The leaves are green during the spring and summer months, but in the fall, they turn a vibrant shade of red, adding a burst of color to the landscape.

This deciduous tree thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well-draining soil. It is relatively low-maintenance and can tolerate a range of soil conditions, including clay and sandy soils. Regular watering is important, especially during dry periods, to keep the soil consistently moist.
