The red maple, Acer rubrum, is a gorgeous maple native to north America. It has deeply lobed, dark green leaves, which turn a brilliant red in autumn. It’s ideal for growing as an ornamental tree in a medium to large garden, and is tolerant of most soils, but prefers moist, slightly acid conditions.

Acer rubrum 'Northwood' is the ideal choice for British gardens as it needs cool weather and frost to develop the best autumn colour.
