Florida Native | Brilliant Fall Color | Shade Tree

Florida Red Maple is a heat-tolerant red maple cultivar selected for its vibrant red-orange fall color and strong adaptability to southern climates. As a native shade tree, it grows quickly and offers year-round beauty with red spring flowers, lush green summer foliage, and striking autumn display. Excellent for yards, streetscapes, or naturalized areas.

Planting Instructions

Choose a planting site at least 15–20 feet from buildings or structures.

Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and slightly shallower than its height.

Backfill with native soil and water thoroughly after planting.

Apply mulch around the base, keeping it 2–3 inches away from the trunk.

Soil Requirements

Prefers moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Tolerant of sandy or loamy soils. Avoid areas with high pH or prolonged drought conditions.

Fertilizer

Use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring during the first 2–3 years. Established trees typically do not require regular fertilization unless soil is deficient.

Watering

Water deeply 1–2 times per week during the first growing season. Once established, water during extended dry periods to promote deep root growth.

Pruning

Prune in late winter while the tree is dormant.

Remove lower limbs or any damaged, crossing, or crowded branches to maintain structure.

Avoid heavy summer pruning to prevent stress.

What Makes It Thrive

Full sun exposure and consistent watering

Slightly acidic, well-drained soil

Proper spacing for airflow and canopy development

Seasonal pruning to shape and strengthen the tree

Florida Red Maple is a dependable, attractive native maple that brings color, shade, and wildlife interest to any Florida landscape. Adaptable and easy to grow, it’s a favorite for both residential and restoration use.
