Acer rubrum 'October Glory'

Common Name: October Glory Red Maple

Acer rubrum ‘October Glory’ is one of the most widely planted red maple cultivars, valued for its outstanding late-season fall color, vigorous growth, and broad adaptability. Spring brings small red flowers, followed by dark green, glossy foliage that forms a dense, attractive summer canopy. In fall, ‘October Glory’ lives up to its name, developing deep crimson-red to scarlet foliage that colors later than many red maples and often persists well into autumn. The growth habit is upright to rounded, forming a strong, symmetrical medium to large shade tree. This cultivar performs best in full sun to partial shade and adapts well to a wide range of soils, including moist and slightly compacted sites. It is especially noted for its urban tolerance and reliable performance.
