Why Plant Royal Red Norway Maple?

Royal Red Norway Maple brings a sense of drama and distinction to any property. Its rich, maroon-red leaves emerge in spring and hold their bold color straight through the summer heat, unlike some trees that fade. Introduced as an improvement on Crimson King, Royal Red offers even stronger foliage color while maintaining the classic toughness Norway Maples are known for. Perfect for homeowners or city planners looking for a reliable shade tree with eye-catching foliage, Royal Red is both a performer and a showpiece.

How to use Royal Red Norway Maple in the landscape?

Use Royal Red Norway Maple as a specimen tree where its dark foliage will create striking contrast against lighter green trees and shrubs. It is ideal for planting as a front-yard focal point, a shade tree for backyards, or in rows along streets and drives for a uniform, dramatic look. Its dependable canopy provides both beauty and comfort, cooling your outdoor spaces in summer while adding lasting visual interest.

How Does Shipping Work?

Bower & Branch Trees, the real BIG trees, don’t fit in a box! Our big trees, sizes XL and bigger, require expert delivery and care, that means our extra-large trees are shipped on Bower & Branch trucks. We are the only ones who know how to ship our big and bigger trees and plants with tender loving care. We deliver your trees and plants directly to you.

*For Big trees and Shrubs, Size XL and bigger: Review our Seasonal Shipping Timelines and Policy here.

Your trees and plants are grown across the United States at various Bower & Branch Growers. Depending on your location, your plant orders may be shipped from various locations. Please expect orders with multiple items to be delivered over a number of days as a result. Orders made up of numerous items or selections will not arrive at your home on the same day.

Shipping Delays:

From time to time, Bower & Branch Growers may determine to delay order shipment based on various factors for plant health. Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.

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!
