This
hybrid red maple is a majestic shade tree grown for its awesome fall
color and for its faster growth rate than seedling red maples.
'October Glory' develops ORANGE to REDDISH-ORANGE fall color. However,
fall air and soil temperatures and moisture will affect the leaf color
from year to year.
'October Glory' typically colors up in November while the other
popular hybrid red maple we offer, 'Autumn Blaze', colors 2-4 weeks
earlier. Color lasts for 3-4 weeks before leaves drop for winter.
In
spring, before leafing out, 'October Glory' produces the attractive
red flowers for which "red" maples are named.
Trees mature at 40' or taller by 30' or wider. Expect 2-3' growth a
year.
Plant in all-day sun to light shade.
