Red Rocket Maple

The Red Rocket Maple (Acer rubrum ‘Red Rocket’) is a remarkable maple tree that stands out with its unique features. Offering a columnar form like ‘Bowhall’ maple, it is a preferred choice for colder regions due to its exceptional cold hardiness. With a mature height of 30-40 feet and a spread of 8-15 feet, it fits perfectly in smaller landscapes, urban areas, or narrow spaces.

This stunning maple tree exhibits a vibrant deep red fall color, adding a fiery touch to your surroundings. It thrives in a wide range of soil conditions but prefers slightly acidic, moist soils. With its dense leaf canopy, it provides excellent shade and improved tolerance to potato leafhopper.

Selected from a northern Minnesota seed source, the Red Rocket Maple showcases reduced size compared to other red maple cultivars, allowing for better management and versatility. Its slower growth rate and tight upright form make it a standout choice.

Enjoy the striking beauty and cold-hardy nature of the Red Rocket Maple tree. With its vibrant fall color and compact size, it will bring a touch of elegance to your landscape design.
