They can also provide the equipment necessary for offloading the tree upon delivery. We will coordinate delivery with you so that your contractor has equipment ready upon your trees arrival! OR check the box below for ServeScape to provide offloading equipment for an additional fee.

Drummond Red Maple is a native fast growing deciduous tree with leathery palmate foliage that is lighter underneath with silvery hairs.  The winter flowers are inconspicuous, but the long bright red samaras that appear before the foliage emerges in spring are attractive.  Grows best in rich, moist, slightly acidic well-drained soils.
