Our first Signature Tree of 2015 is an Acer ginnala ‘Red November’ or an Amur Maple ‘Red November’ for those less versed in binomial nomenclature. As a Signature Tree this autumnal head-turner is more like a living landscape solution than a simple tree in the yard. Below you will find the run down on Mr. Red November, be prepared to fall in love with your new favorite maple.

Signature Tree Stats

• Hardy – able to adapt to a variety of growing conditions, can tolerate shade
• Stunning red seasonal color – shows up in late fall, extending the life of your fall palate while other leaves fade to brown
• Scale – perfect height and spread for smaller spaces; a signature tree for a signature space, a front entry or patio perhaps?
