Product Details
Overview & Specifications
Acer rubrum 'October Glory'
Few deciduous trees command a landscape with the authority of 'October Glory'. Its deep crimson foliage, holding later into autumn than most maples, delivers a seasonal spectacle that reads powerfully across large properties and prestige streetscapes alike.
Why October Glory Maple
Extended autumn colour: Deep crimson-red foliage that persists well into late autumn, outlasting comparable maple cultivars.
Broad canopy development: Matures into a substantial shade canopy with a strong, symmetrical form requiring minimal structural intervention.
Year-round presence: Fresh spring emergence, dense summer shade, and fiery autumn colour ensure continuous landscape value across seasons.
Consistent performance: Reliable colour output and structural integrity year after year in suitable temperate climates.
Advanced specimens available: Supplied at maturity for immediate visual impact, without the wait of establishing from a young tree.
Ideal Applications
Prestige feature planting: A single specimen commands attention as a focal point in formal or contemporary landscapes.
Avenue and driveway planting: Sequential rows deliver striking uniformity and dramatic seasonal colour across entries and allées.
Large-scale shade provision: The broad canopy is well suited to open lawns, courtyards, and estate grounds requiring functional overhead cover.
Parks and civic landscapes: Performs with consistency and scale in expansive public or commercial projects demanding year-round structure.
Specimen & Installation
Spacing (feature/avenue): 8 to 12m
