Maple October Glory 30G-45G

October Glory Maple 

(Acer rubrum ‘October Glory’) is a classic shade tree prized for its intense, late-season red fall color and dependable performance in warm climates. As autumn arrives, its foliage turns a deep crimson to burgundy—often holding color longer than many other red maples, which is exactly how it earned its name.

Throughout spring and summer, October Glory features a dense green canopy and a naturally rounded, symmetrical form, making it an excellent lawn or streetscape tree. It adapts well to a range of soil types, tolerates urban conditions, and establishes reliably with consistent watering—making it a favorite for North Texas landscapes seeking bold seasonal color and long-term structure.
