October Glory Maple

Acer rubrum 'October Glory'

October Glory is one of the last red maples to turn color in fall, extending the autumn show with brilliant crimson-red foliage. It holds its leaves longer than most maples and has a symmetrical, rounded crown that provides excellent shade. Faster growing than sugar maple with equally spectacular fall color.
