Instant shade, blazing autumn color, and a canopy that makes the whole yard exhale
FEATURES:
- Grows into a full, upright oval canopy that looks naturally “finished” even when the tree is still young
- Dense branching and big leaves create real shade, the kind you can feel on a hot afternoon
- Summer foliage stays deep green and lush, like the landscape turned up its saturation
- Fall color lights up in orange and red tones, a showy, classic sugar maple finale
- Noted for toughness against frost cracking and sun scald, because nobody wants “tree drama” after a rough winter
- Hand Selected; Fresh from the Grower
- Ships on our trucks because of the size of the tree – does not fit in a box
Bower & Branch Landscape Design Tip:
Give Majesty® a wide mulch ring and let the canopy be the “ceiling” of your design, then build a soft, layered understory with lower shrubs and perennials that stay comfortably below the branches, think hydrangeas, inkberry, or ornamental grasses for movement, and keep the trunk clear so the tree’s form reads clean and confident from the street and from the house.
Growth Facts
- Hardiness Zone: 5-7
- Mature Height: 62-65' tall
- Mature Width: 42-45' wide
- Exposure: Full Sun/Part Shade
- Spacing: 35-45' apart

Why plant Majesty® Sugar Maple?
Majesty® earns its name the honest way, with presence. This is a sugar maple chosen for a strong, symmetrical crown and vigorous, dense growth, so it shows up looking polished instead of lanky and unsure of itself. It is the kind of tree that makes a yard feel established, like it has always belonged there, and when fall arrives, it does not whisper, it sings in orange and red. If you want classic shade-tree beauty with extra backbone for cold-weather challenges, this one is a smart, steady pick.
How to use Majesty® Sugar Maple in the landscape?
Use Majesty® as a cornerstone shade tree in a front yard, a broad lawn, or along a drive where its upright oval form can frame the property and create that “arrival moment.” It is especially effective near patios or outdoor seating areas where you want cooling shade and a canopy that feels generous overhead, and it shines in larger spaces like parks or wide-open landscapes where it has room to spread into its mature shape. Plant it where you can enjoy the fall show from a window or walkway, because the autumn color is part of the point.
Frequently Asked Questions
Majesty® Sugar Maple produces small yellowish to yellow-green spring flowers that appear before or as the leaves emerge.
Water deeply and consistently through the first growing season to help the roots establish. After that, provide a slow soak during extended dry spells, especially in summer heat.
Prune in late winter or early spring, focusing on dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Keep cuts light to maintain its natural upright oval form.
