Red Sunset Maple

Wow,that is breathtaking, Paul and look at the size of it,in comparison to that garden chair!

Absolutely stunning!

I'm glad you like it. Thank You. I often have to stop and stare myself.

That is absolutely stunning!

:) thanks Julia! It's one of the best trees for fall color.

Is it in your garden Paul?

Yes, it's an areal view of my backyard from back bedroom window. I planted this tree when it was just a sapling 3 feet tall. Now it's past the house.

I can just imagine your picnic & bbq area here next summer.

Oh my goodness, not only must you have a large garden, but an obviously beautiful one. You're very lucky my garden is only tiny I'm sorry to say. I'd love to have a bigger garden, but I'm also aware that as I get older a larger garden would perhaps be too much to take care of.

Oh wow, pass me my sunglasses. What a stunner, just beautiful.

Stunning Paul it almost makes winter worth while to see that spectacular sight !

That's quite a sight! Fabulous colour ?

This tree has something to offer for each season but it's mainly about the Fall Color.

Such a beautiful Maple...:o) You said it was a 3ft Sapling when you planted it up... How long ago was that?

Thanks Tracey. I planted it 5 years ago. Now it's about 25 feet.

It's grown pretty well then hasn't it? ;o)

oh yes, Tracey. This is a medium to rapid growing tree - depending on water, space & sun. I've pruned it a couple times already. I planted it here for relief from the scorching summer sun. This brilliant fall color is a bonus. It also withstood many storms including hurricane Sandy and a tornado.

Vibrant!
