Description
Maple, Crimson King is a stunning shade tree known for its bold, deep purple foliage that holds its color from spring through fall. Unlike other maples that shift to fiery hues in autumn, this tree maintains its rich, dark tones, adding a striking contrast to the landscape. Its dense, rounded canopy provides satisfying shade, making it an excellent choice for streetscapes, large yards, or as a statement tree in expansive landscapes. Small yellow flowers emerge in spring, adding a subtle splash of color before the leaves fully develop. With its strong structure and dependable performance, this maple delivers grand visual impact and lasting appeal.

General Care

  • Sunlight: Prefers full sun
  • Watering: Once established, water occasionally, allowing soil to remain evenly moist but well-drained
  • Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch to help retain moisture and regulate soil temperature
  • Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring if shaping or branch removal is needed

With its bold foliage, refreshing shade, and year-round structure, Maple, Crimson King is a striking choice for adding color and presence to the landscape.
