Red Maple April Splendour

Acer rubrum ‘April Splendour’ – Red Maple
Acer rubrum ‘April Splendour’ is a stunning deciduous tree admired for its vibrant seasonal colour and elegant form. Emerging in early spring with rich red new growth, it transitions to lush green foliage throughout summer before putting on a spectacular autumn display of deep reds and burgundy. This upright, medium to large tree typically reaches 10–15 metres in height, making it an excellent choice for feature planting, street avenues, or larger gardens. It prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soils and performs best in full sun to part shade. ‘April Splendour’ offers year-round beauty and is particularly valued for its brilliant early spring colour and reliable autumn performance.
