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.
