Crimson Sunset® maple is a hybrid deciduous tree in the Sapindaceae (soapberry) family. It is a cross between A. truncatum x A. platanoides with showy crimson-purple leaves and increased heat tolerance thriving where other purple-leaved plants suffer. The purple color holds throughout the summer and matures to maroon in the fall.
It is easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soil and is tolerant of a wide range of soils. Plant in full sun to partial shade.
Use as a shade tree, specimen or small groups.
