  • Size: The Red Sunset Maple is a medium to large-sized tree. It typically reaches a height of 40 to 50 feet with a spread of 30 to 40 feet, creating a rounded to oval-shaped canopy.

  • Bark: The bark of young branches is smooth and grayish, becoming darker and furrowed with age.

  • Growing Conditions: Red Sunset Maples are adaptable to various soil types but prefer well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soils. 

  • Sunlight Requirements: These maples thrive in full sun to partial shade. While they can tolerate some shade, the fall coloration is generally more vibrant in full sunlight.

  • Watering: Regular watering is preferred for Red Sunset Maples. However, they can be moderately drought tolerant once established.
