When choosing a shade tree for fall color, it certainly doesn’t pay to gamble with seedling trees, because the level of fall color, its tones and its consistency from year to year, are variable. Nature is a gambler, so seedling trees – like children – are all different. If you need to trim it, do this in summer and early fall, not in late winter or spring, when it may bleed sap. Pests and diseases are normally not an issue with this tree. It does not grow so well on very alkaline soils. It naturally grows along the banks of rivers and streams, so it is perfect for wetter areas in your garden. Hardy all the way from zone 4 into zone 9, the Brandywine Red Maple colors best in full sun, and it thrives in all kinds of soils, including poor urban ones and wet soils too.
