October Glory Red Maple Tree

Acer rubrum 'October Glory' is a fast-growing, tall red maple admired for its outstanding and reliable fall color, especially in warmer climates. Featuring a dense, rounded canopy and large leaves, this deciduous tree showcases glorious fall color that lasts longer than most cultivars and is among the last to turn in autumn. Relatively disease-resistant. ‘October Glory’ grows best with regular water.

The ‘October Glory’ red maple is an excellent shade tree, well-suited to areas with mild winters and hot summer temperatures. In spring, deep green leaves emerge, transitioning to vibrant shades of orange, deep red, and reddish-purple in the fall before shedding. Under optimal conditions, ‘October Glory’ can grow 2 to 3 feet per year.
