ACER r. 'ARMSTRONG' RED MAPLE

The Armstrong Red Maple, is a swiftly growing tree with an upright form, with attractive silver-gray bark. It's recognized as a hybrid between red and silver maples, featuring deeply cut, 5-lobed leaves resembling the silver maple's shape.  Spring blooms yield to samara seed pods in the fall. Its narrow spread makes it suitable for confined spaces near buildings or along streets and sidewalks. Like red maples, it can thrive in wet soils.
