Sunset Maple
Currently unavailable
Elegant foliage stays fresh and attractive throughout the growing season. Leaves are glossier and more star-shaped than others in the Sunset Series. A great choice for smaller sites requiring a more compact tree. Leaves are more resistant to burning in Utah's hot dry summers than many other Maple species and turn red-orange in mid fall.
