Bower & Branch Landscape Design Tip:
Give Rocky Mountain Glow Maple full sun for the best fall color and strongest growth. Water regularly during the first couple of seasons to establish a deep root system, then shift to deep watering during extended dry spells. Mulch the root zone to conserve moisture and keep soil temperatures stable, keeping mulch away from the trunk. Prune lightly in late winter to maintain a strong structure and remove crossing branches. This is a great tree for landscapes that need shade and color, with fewer demands once it is settled in.

Frequently Asked Questions
It typically turns warm golden yellow and orange, often with red accents. The display can be especially vibrant in full sun and cooler fall nights.
Yes. Once established, it handles drier conditions better than many maples. Deep watering during long dry spells will help keep growth strong and foliage healthy.
Prune in late winter while dormant. Focus on removing crossing branches and maintaining a strong structure, especially while the tree is young.
How Does Sizing Work?
The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)
Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.
All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
