Maple, Sun Valley is a stunning, fast-growing shade tree known for its spectacular fall color and tidy, symmetrical form. This hybrid of Red Maple (Acer rubrum) offers a breathtaking display of brilliant red foliage in autumn, creating a showstopping seasonal statement. Unlike some maples, it produces no significant fruit, making it a low-maintenance choice for landscapes. With its dense branching and uniform growth, this tree adds a polished and structured presence, making it ideal for lining driveways, streets, or as a standout specimen in the yard. Its fresh green summer foliage provides excellent shade, keeping outdoor spaces cool and inviting.

General Care

  • Sunlight: Thrives in full sun for vibrant color and faster growth; tolerates some shade.
  • Watering: Once established, water occasionally, allowing soil to stay evenly moist but well-drained
  • Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch to conserve moisture and regulate soil temperature
  • Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring if shaping is needed or to remove dead or crossing branches

With its refined form, vibrant red fall color, and reliable growth, Maple, Sun Valley is one of the finest choices for bringing elegance and seasonal interest to the landscape.
