Is your garden in need of a tree that adds a bold, beautiful impact? The Crimson Sentry Norway Maple Tree (Acer platanoides 'Crimson Sentry') has a dark reddish-purple color that makes it stand out against the more typical greenery of the spring and summer landscape!
The Crimson Sentry Norway Maple tree has leaves that are a deep, dark, super-saturated reddish-purple and actually seem to mellow into maroon by the fall. This Norway Maple cultivar is a heavily branched, upright tree that can grow up to 25 feet tall and a modest spread of just 10-15 feet wide. Making it ideal for smaller properties and tight squeezes!
Cold-hardy throughout USDA planting zones 4 to 7, this Purple-Leafed Maple resists burning from the summer sun and resists fading or scorching during the summer heat. Spring brings yellow blossoms the bees adore before they become winged seedpods that flutter around in the breeze. A sport of the mighty Crimson King Norway Maple, this columnar Maple is perfect for smaller modern properties!
Landscape Application:
The dark colors of the Crimson Sentry add depth to your landscaping no matter the location! This tree is rather slim in width and adds boldness to your garden especially when placed next to blue-tinted evergreen trees and chartreuse-leafed shrubs!
Adding two identical Crimson Sentry Norway Maples on either side of the entrance to your driveway acting as guardsmen creates a high-impact yet sophisticated appearance! Go for the gusto and create an evenly spaced row of these fantastic trees along the driveway or along the front of your property for a high-end effect and a traffic-slowing dose of color! (Just keep this Maple at least 5-6 feet from paved areas and your foundation.)
A single specimen in your front yard leaves everyone speechless each year or shade a back seating area, reading chair, or firepit with these smaller shade trees! Try creating gropings of informally spaced trees to create a grove that birds flock to and you'll want to lazily spend your summer days in a hammock beneath!
- Deep, Dark Purple Leaves
- Gorgeous Smaller Tree With High-Impact Coloration
- Columnar Upright Oval Canopy
- Great Maroon Fall Color
- Bold Accent, Great Entry Statement, Specimen & Along Driveways
#ProPlantTips for Care:
To ensure that this Maple tree grows to its full potential, plant in full sun with well-drained soil. To make your life easier in the long run, water your new Maple regularly and surround the tree with a 3-4 inch deep layer of mulch to keep consistent soil moisture, protect the trunk from damage, and insulate the roots. Prune wayward branching and winter dieback in the late winter if needed.
- Grows Best In Full Sun
- Well-Drained Soil
- Moderate Moisture Needs
- Prune Late Winter
- Low-Maintenance
