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.

Healthy and already growing!
Great o have such a high quality tree at that great price. Already planted and showing signs of new growth. Thanks.
I am a little nervous. . . . thought
I am a little nervous. . . . thought it would have red leaves. When I went on line it said the leaves turn red in the fall. Would like to confirm that. I just wish it was a little more "perkier". Your paperwork did say it may take some time. Thank you
Very good quality
Healthy looking tree, arrived packed well, on time . Tree was bigger than I expected
Here we go! 5/12/26 , Sunset Maple let’s go!!!!
I have just received and planted my birthday gift from a really good friend of mine! And I would love to share the journey! I am really trying to do all I can to make this a special tree! I am so morning on establishing a pond, hoping to hire someone to dig me a pond and someone to help me landscape about 3 areas, o am dedicating to just chilling spots. Like I said a pond in construction, and with the equipment I have I can’t do it, so I am landscaping my property with drainage and good dirt, which it’s hard to find here in Heber Springs Arkansas. Planting, digging, ditching, trying to get all water to flow towards my pond, I honestly think it would take someone to do a days worth of dozer work, and have my pond formed, and land scape done, Maybe more to have it perfect. But just get me to where I can fine tune it to the finish. You know? Heck, so any how, I will share pics along the way, hopefully I can start a thread!
Maple tree
Tree was in good condition. Some of the tops were broke off, but overall looked good.
