If you live in the eastern US, you likely already know red maple (Acer rubrum)! Red maple is one of the most widespread and common trees in our eastern forests. It is found in just about every habitat, from swamps to cities to mountaintops, where it grows fast, reproduces like crazy, and treats us with a brilliant blaze of foliage each autumn.

Just recently stumbled upon your channel when I was looking up how to take care of a platanus occidentalis. Love the content and the way you talk about the ecology of each tree really brings me in. I've been trying to see if I could utilize some free college programs around here where I live but there just doesn't seem to be any ecology programs to choose from. Your channel and videos have been scratching that itch for me. For now at least I'm just a hobby shepherd of a mixed red oak/maple forest here in my small little town. A hole opened up in the canopy a few months ago and when this sycamore was plopped in my lap it's really kick started a journey of sorts. Keep at it my dude, you're doing good work and it's having a positive impact.

I love your videos, as a Central Pennsylvania native who spends a lot of time in the woods, you teach me something new every video you put out!

You did a whole series on trees. Very appreciative!!! Arborist do not have the time to identify every tree. At least you have pointed out indicators to help people like me become familiar with my surroundings.

@alexanderdoornbos2868 11 месяцев назад

Really appreciate these, hoping to get more out of my daily walks and be able to identify trees around me. Keep it up!

I wonder if this tree can grow in Europe along with sugar maple. Thanks for the video you are great!

Thank you for this informative video. I was wanting to plant two of these in front of my house and now I’m so glad I listened to the whole video. I’m in Sacramento, CA, zone 9b and the front of my house just gets blasted by the afternoon sun.

I have one huge double trunk red maple along the edge of my property line and that’s enough. Every year hundreds of red maple seedlings pop up everywhere around my yard. I do tap it for sap in late winter along with the sugar maples, although the sugar content is lower. Might as well get some use from an otherwise blah tree.

You should do a video about black walnut

@seansean1709 Год назад

Not a tree but a video on the American hazelnut would be awesome!

I bought a red maple tree but it never turns red. It goes from green to brown in the fall

@pameladean-nl4lc 9 месяцев назад

I Love the red Maple, but We are looking for a tree that will provide shaded and beauty , and fruit and seeds for squirrels an birds, and other wild life. Also one that has a good strong root that grows downward . We have a deck on one side of the house when the sun is at it hottest of the early afternoon. We can't hardly use our deck because of it. Do you have any suggestion?

@Nikki7B 8 месяцев назад

Hi, have you considered the white oak? It has acorns, and grows its roots down. Maybe something to research for your specific area you live in.

@repetemyname842 Год назад

Im a little confused, what we call a Red Maple in Wisconsin is a slow growing maple tree with dark red leaves all season long. Almost purplish leaves. They are desired due to the leaf color and they get beautiful full canopies if given the room to grow like in a front or back yard.

@nateld614 Год назад

Those are probably Crimson Maples (Purple variety of the Norway Maple, Acer platanoides). Red maples have smaller leaves and are green in the summer, but turn bright red in the fall.

@ericwanderweg8525 Год назад

Yeah that’s either crimson king cultivar of Norway maple, or possibly Japanese maple. I’ve never known Norway to grow slow…

I have many of these trees on my 9 acres, they definitely grow fast and out compete all my oaks, hickory’s, and cherry’s. I have cut down many a red maple to give my young white oak and walnut saplings a chance. These trees can be beautiful but a lot of them are ugly and I don’t care for them.
