October Glory Red Maple 5 Gallon Container

October Glory® Red Maple – 5 Gallon Container
Vivid Fall Color and Reliable Growth for Southern Landscapes

The October Glory® Red Maple is one of the most dependable and colorful fall trees for the South. Known for its brilliant scarlet-red foliage in late fall, this variety holds its leaves longer than most maples—providing extended autumn color when others have dropped. In spring and summer, it showcases clean green foliage and a rounded, symmetrical canopy that provides excellent shade.

A favorite for residential lawns, streetscapes, and property lines, October Glory is fast-growing, low-maintenance, and highly adaptable to clay, loam, or sandy soil types. It’s also more heat-tolerant than many Northern maples, making it a perfect choice for Southern zones.
