Description
The Brandywine Maple (Acer rubrum ‘Brandywine’) is a standout red maple cultivar, celebrated for its spectacular fall colors, rapid growth, and adaptability. This medium-sized, deciduous tree reaches 35-50 feet with a balanced, oval-shaped canopy, making it an excellent shade tree. Unlike other red maples, Brandywine delivers an extended fall display, beginning with bright red hues and transitioning to deep purples, creating a breathtaking seasonal transformation.
Beyond its beauty, Brandywine Maple is low-maintenance and highly adaptable, thriving in a variety of soil conditions, including clay and urban environments. It has improved pest and disease resistance, and since it is a male cultivar, it produces no messy seeds—making it a clean and practical choice for landscapes. Whether used as a specimen tree, shade tree, or street tree, the Brandywine Maple is a top-tier selection for homeowners and landscapers alike.
