Dazzling Color Arrives Earlier & Lasts Longer
Why Red Sunset ® Maple Trees?
Delivering outstanding red and orange color weeks earlier than other varieties, the Red Sunset® is one of the best maples on the market. This tree’s deep, dazzling red hues can develop almost one month before other similar varieties, giving you longer-lasting fall color.
The Red Sunset ® displays rich, vivid color where other maples can't. Whether you're in a cold climate with temperatures down to -20 degrees or a hot, dry desert up to zone 9, you get the promise of intense color. The Red Sunset® is much more drought-resistant than other varieties too, so it keeps on looking great despite little water. Plus, its strong branching stands up to high winds and intense storms with ease.
Nothing can stop the Red Sunset® from displaying its vivid range of bright hues. Plant your Red Sunset® Maple along the road’s edge, in borders, or as an ornamental that stands on its own. No matter where it grows, the Red Maple puts on a show and transforms your landscape into the best yard on the block.

Red Sunset Maple Tree
My Red Sunset Maple Tree arrived quickly, well packaged in a box… I quickly planted the tree and waiting for the warm weather and the tree to grow some leaves!
Made it through winter
We planted three of these trees in the fall, here in Iowa, all three trees made it through the winter, and are starting to bud. We planted four trees from this site over the years, not counting the 3 we planted last fall. 3 of the 4 are still growing, only had one that did not. Very good place to purchase trees.
It came in sprouting
Good little tree! Planted it as sone as I received it. With all the rain it’s doubled in sprouts. Wasn’t that hard to dig a hole for it.
healthy looking trees,received in dormant
healthy looking trees,received in dormant stage with few branches. decent roots with dirt lose in bag not on roots. shipping must have been rough. most likely will be fine.
