PLANTING POINTS: This red maple offers solid branch structure and a moderate growth rate. It has vibrant red fall color hence the Brandywine cultivar name. Being a red maple, this tree is an upland maple primarily.
SITING THIS TREE: For this reason, avoid planting sites that are frequently wet or experience periods of standing water. In well drained rich soils this tree will excel.
