Acer rubrum Redpointe® is a showy red maple cultivar noted for its brilliant, bright red autumn foliage and elegant, upright, pyramidal form. Similar to other red maples, Redpointe® is a fast grower and can grow up to 45' tall with a spread of about 30 feet, which it maintains in a tidy conical or pyramidal form over its lifetime.
Redpointe® likes full sun, and is tolerant of a wide variety of soil types as well as wet soils, making it a great choice for a variety of locations around the home, especially if you have a large, sunny yard in need of shade or are looking to start a mixed forest planting. Acer rubrum is also a host plant for a number of caterpillar species like the Rosy Maple Moth and Cecropia Moth and these insects, alongside the winged samara-type seed pods that maples are famous for, attract a number of birds to the summer and fall gardens.
