Description

October Glory Red Maple is cherished for its exceptionally late and long-lasting fall color, which holds its brilliant orange-red to red leaves well into the season, often after other trees have dropped theirs. It forms a dense, rounded crown, providing both great shade and a prolonged autumn show.

  • The hallmark of this cultivar is its persistent fall foliage, which develops later in autumn and clings to the branches for an extended period.

  • Develops a dense, oval to rounded canopy that provides excellent shade.

  • A female cultivar that produces a moderate amount of red samaras (seeds) which can be attractive but create some litter.

  • Ideal for extending the colorful autumn season in the landscape.
