Crimson King Maple trees are planted in order to add the perfect depth of contrasting color to a landscape. The deep purple leaves are quite large and when the they catch the sun just right, usually mid-morning or late afternoon, the translucent purple leaves truly glow like they were plugged into an outlet. The color is quite remarkable, but another feature of the Crimson King is that it naturally grows in perfectly symmetrical fashion. This tree requires no maintenance to attain its natural, beautiful, and aesthetically-pleasing shape. Crimson King Maple trees are perfect for adding a splash of color to your landscape while being incredibly low-maintenance.
