Armstrong Maple is a hybrid between Red Maple and Silver Maple, bred for its upright growth and stunning seasonal color. It typically grows 40–50 feet tall but stays only 15–20 feet wide, making it ideal for streetscapes, driveways, or narrow yards where space is limited. Its deeply lobed green leaves turn a vibrant orange-red in fall, providing a bold splash of color. The tree grows quickly and has a clean, architectural shape that fits well in modern or formal landscapes. With good pest resistance and adaptability to a variety of soils, it’s a dependable, low-fuss option for urban and suburban environments.
