Description
Brilliant fall color gives Acer rubrum Brandywine its strongest garden display. Dark green leaves turn red, then purple-red, across a long autumn display on an oval, seedless shade tree.
This tree grows about 40 feet tall and 30 feet wide. Plant it in moist but well-drained, acid to neutral soil with partial shade, and prune only if needed from late fall to midwinter. Wilted leaves are toxic to horses; keep fallen or storm-damaged foliage away from them.
