Crimson King Maple
Shade Tree with Outstanding Color  By far the most outstanding feature of the Crimson King Maple is its summer leaf color. While other homeowners have to wait until fall for their Maples to display vivid colors, your Crimson King will do so all summer long. Its star-shaped, classic Maple leaves are an engaging deep purple-maroon that stands out amid the usual greens of the summer landscape. As an added bonus, your Crimson King will be dotted with petite yellow flowers in the spring to the delight of the neighborhood’s butterflies and bees. Seeds will later develop, with a two winged structure that is as entertaining as it is useful. Their enchanting descent to the ground, spinning on the autumn breeze is a sight to behold…if the birds don’t snatch them up first. When fall arrives your Crimson King’s purple foliage will give one last burst of color as its dark purple shade transform into a bronze hue. The Crimson King Maple can grow up to 50 feet tall with a 30 foot spread to its symmetrical, oval form. It’s a particularly hardy Maple. It’s easily transplanted, tolerates shade, drought and many other conditions well, including urban environments. A dense shade tree with dramatic uncommon color, the Crimson King Maple is a must-have for any home that wants to stand out from the rest. * Unique leaf color * Spring flowers * Wildlife interest

A choice selection for colder climates, this imposing tree has a wide, spreading canopy of pendulous, swaying branches and decorative golden bark that is quite extraordinary. The Niobe Weeping Willow’s early-appearing leaves are slim, lance-shaped and fresh yellow-green, turning a bright golden-yellow in the fall. A superb specimen near water (or at least in a moist area), in full sun (or some shade) with plenty of elbow room. This is a large, fast-growing tree, so plan accordingly.
