Red maple (Acer rubrum) "flowers are structurally perfect. The species is polygamo-dioecious. Thus, some trees are entirely male, producing no seeds; some are entirely female; and some are monoecious, bearing both male and female flowers" (1).

You can also start a tree from seeds. Maple tree seeds mature in either spring to early summer or late fall, depending on the species. ... Plant the seeds about three-quarters of an inch (2 cm.) deep in moist peat moss and place them in a plastic bag inside the refrigerator for 60 to 90 days.

The glossy green leaves persist on the tree turning orange-red to brilliant red in the fall. Red Sunset grows moderately fast, 45'-50' high with a 35'-40' spread. It adapts to a wide range of climates and soils, but requires acid soil and is salt-sensitive.

The Red Sunset Maple tree is a great tree for your yard. With a mature width of up to 35 feet and height around 50, this is a good sized shade tree. Be sure to give it plenty of room to thrive.. . . . .364011236411!]0000000000000009783314145684!]
