Redpointe® Maple — 30 Gallon
(Acer rubrum × Acer saccharinum ‘Redpointe’)
Tree Description
The Redpointe® Maple is one of the best modern shade trees for landscapes in the Midwest. This fast-growing hybrid maple combines the strong branching structure of a red maple with the rapid growth and adaptability of a silver maple. The result is a uniform, upright oval tree that develops a strong central leader and dense canopy—making it an excellent choice for shade, street plantings, and front yards.
In fall, Redpointe® truly shines with brilliant scarlet-red foliage that stands out across the landscape. It tolerates a wide range of soils and urban conditions and establishes quickly after planting. A 30-gallon tree is already a substantial landscape specimen, typically around 10–12 feet tall, and can begin providing meaningful shade within just a few growing seasons.
