Sizing guide

Acer rubrum ‘October Glory’

October Glory Red Maple is a fast-growing deciduous tree prized for its brilliant fall color and attractive, rounded form. Its glossy green leaves remain lush through summer before transforming into vivid shades of orange-red to deep red in autumn, often holding their color later into the season than many other red maple selections. With a strong central leader and full branching habit, it makes an excellent shade tree and provides valuable structure and seasonal interest to the landscape.

Adaptable and relatively easy to grow, October Glory performs best in full sun with consistent moisture and well-drained soil. Its combination of rapid growth, dependable fall color, and substantial size makes it a popular choice for lawns, streetscapes, and larger landscapes.

The Plant Firm was exactly what I was looking for! I bought 8 plants and they arrived bigger and better than I could have expect. Can't wait for my next order of outdoor plants.
