Maple - October Glory

 The October Glory Maple (Acer rubrum 'October   Glory') is a popular deciduous tree admired for its vibrant fall color, attractive shape, and adaptability. A cultivar of the native red maple, it typically grows 40 to 50 feet tall with a rounded to oval canopy that provides excellent shade. During the growing season, it features lush, dark green leaves that turn a brilliant, long-lasting red to reddish-purple in late fall, often one of the last trees to change color, extending the autumn show. In early spring, it produces small red flowers before the leaves emerge, adding subtle seasonal interest. October Glory thrives in full sun to   partial shade and adapts well to a variety of soil types, including moist or   slightly wet conditions, making it a great choice for urban and suburban landscapes. Its moderate to fast growth rate, low maintenance needs, and spectacular seasonal beauty make it a favorite for streets, parks, and home gardens alike.
