The distinctive conical shape of Acer rubrum ‘Armstrong’ is optimized to fit tight urban spaces and small backyards while still attaining reasonable height. As a deciduous tree, it grows quickly in a pyramidal form with moderate to regular water. It prefers full sun and will tolerate heavy soil. The classic, maple green, palmate leaves turn vivid orange-red in the fall. And for our Bay Area clients from the East Coast, this beauty reminds them of the deciduous fall colors of the season. This is a great choice for a feature tree that improves with age.
