Acer Rubrum Brandywine

Common Name: Brandywine Red Maple

Acer rubrum ‘Brandywine’ is a standout red maple cultivar prized for its rich, deep burgundy-purple fall color, a tone that sets it apart from the brighter scarlet reds typical of many red maples. Spring brings small red flowers, followed by dark green summer foliage with excellent substance. In autumn, ‘Brandywine’ delivers a long-lasting display of wine-red to deep purple-red foliage, often holding color later into the season than other cultivars. The habit is upright to oval, developing into a well-balanced, medium-sized shade tree. This cultivar performs best in full sun, which enhances fall color intensity, and adapts well to a variety of soils, including moist sites. It shows good tolerance to urban conditions and is often chosen where a darker, more dramatic fall color is desired.
