This cultivar is particularly valuable for urban settings, narrow yards, and as a street tree. Its improved foliage density and compact growth habit offer advantages over the original Armstrong Maple, providing a fuller appearance while maintaining the desired narrow form.
The Armstrong Gold Red Maple’s adaptability to various soil conditions and its low maintenance requirements make it a practical choice for many landscaping situations. Its golden-orange fall color adds a warm glow to autumn landscapes, complementing the more common red fall colors of other maple varieties.
