October Glory Maple 1-2'
October Glory Maple is a cultivar of the red maple (Acer rubrum) tree, which is native to eastern North America. It is a deciduous tree widely known for its stunning fall foliage, which turns bright shades of orange and red during autumn.
The October Glory Maple cultivar is a fast-growing tree that typically reaches 40 to 50 feet (12 to 15 meters) with a spread of 25 to 35 feet (7.5 to 10.5 meters). Its leaves are medium-sized, with a five-lobed shape, and turn brilliant shades of red in the fall. This maple tree is also known for its ability to withstand urban conditions and is often used as a shade tree in residential and commercial landscapes.
October Glory Maples are valued for their aesthetic appeal, particularly their stunning fall colors, which make them popular as ornamental trees in landscaping. They are also known for their adaptability and hardiness, making them useful in various settings, including parks, streetscapes, and residential yards.
As shade trees, they provide shelter from the sun during the summer months, which can help to reduce cooling costs. They also serve as a habitat for wildlife, such as birds and squirrels.
In addition, the wood of the red maple tree, including the October Glory cultivar, is used for various purposes, including furniture, flooring, and veneers. The tree's sap is also used to make maple syrup, although the October Glory Maple is not commonly used for this purpose due to its low sap production compared to other maple varieties.
October Glory Maples typically bloom in early spring, usually in March or April, depending on the climate and location.
The tree produces small, inconspicuous flowers that are usually red or yellow-green and arranged in clusters called "corymbs" at the ends of branches.
