Acer rubrum 'Fairview Flame' - Canadian Maple

Size: 200L
Sale price$1,200.00

Acer rubrum 'Fairview Flame' – Canadian Maple is a structured, deciduous tree with upright form and consistent autumn colour. Triangular green leaves shift to vivid scarlet and crimson tones in mid-autumn, delivering strong seasonal impact in large-scale planting schemes.

They look excellent in avenue plantings, parks, or structured residential landscapes where uniform shape and bold autumn colour are priorities. A strong central leader and symmetrical canopy reduce pruning requirements, while adaptability to a range of soils supports reliable performance.

Well suited to temperate climates seeking scale, structure, and colour with low ongoing maintenance.
