Acer rubrum 'Armstrong' is a fast-growing, tall hybrid of red maple and silver maple, with a narrow, columnar form. Also known as a Freeman maple (Acer x freemanii ‘Armstrong’), this deciduous tree delivers an impressive fall color display but requires ample water to thrive.
The Armstrong red maple is ideal for smaller yards or tight spaces due to its upright, narrow growth. It can be planted in rows for privacy screens or as a standout single tree. In spring, light green leaves emerge, transitioning to golden-orange in autumn before shedding. Fast-growing, ‘Armstrong’ can grow 2 to 3 ft. per year under optimal conditions.
How tall does an Armstrong Red Maple grow?
It typically reaches 40–50 feet tall and 10–15 feet wide, forming a strong vertical accent in the landscape.
How fast does it grow?
Growth is moderate to fast—usually 1 to 2 feet per year in good soil with regular water. It establishes easily and grows into a stately shade tree.
What kind of sunlight and soil does it prefer?
It grows best in full sun and moist, well-drained soil. While adaptable, it performs best with consistent watering and rich, loamy soil.
How much water does an Armstrong Red Maple need?
Water deeply and regularly during the first few years. Mature trees prefer evenly moist soil and benefit from extra watering during hot, dry spells.
