The Brandywine Red Maple (Acer rubrum 'Brandywine') is a stunning deciduous tree prized for its vibrant foliage and elegant form. Characterized by its pyramidal to oval shape, this maple showcases deeply lobed leaves that emerge with a reddish-purple hue in spring, transitioning to a dark green with red undertones in summer. As autumn approaches, the foliage transforms into a breathtaking display of bright red and scarlet hues, providing year-round visual interest and color. Typically reaching a height of 40 to 50 feet with a spread of 25 to 35 feet, it is well-suited for larger gardens, parks, or as a shade tree in open landscapes. The Brandywine Red Maple is relatively low-maintenance and prefers well-draining, acidic soil and full sun to partial shade. With its stunning seasonal color transformations, distinctive red undertones, and graceful form, it is an excellent choice for gardeners and homeowners looking to introduce a splash of vibrant color and natural beauty to their outdoor environments.
