Acer rubrum 'October Glory'
Dispatched from our expert growing partner and delivered within 7 days.
A maple tree that finishes the season with colour
The Acer rubrum ‘October Glory’ is chosen for the way it holds its moment until later in the year. Through spring and summer it provides a calm, green canopy, before turning to rich red tones as autumn deepens.
It is a tree that feels measured and balanced, offering a strong seasonal finish rather than an early display.
Who this tree is for
This suits gardens where there is space for a tree to develop over time. It works well as a feature in lawns or open areas, where its autumn colour can be fully appreciated.
It is often chosen by those who want to mark the changing of the seasons more clearly.
A later shift into autumn colour
In spring, fresh green leaves emerge and form a steady canopy through summer. As the year moves on, the foliage begins to deepen, turning into strong red tones in autumn, often later than many other trees.
This extended season of colour makes it a reliable choice for autumn interest.
