A classic cultivar among red maple trees, 'October Glory' is a stunning deciduous shade tree. Known best for its vivid red fall color, 'October Glory' is fast-growing tree and will grow up to 40-50' tall and 30-40' wide. Nondescript flowers bloom in early spring, but give way to the winged seed cases that maples are known for.

Acer rubrum 'October Glory' prefers acidic, wet to moist soils, but is adaptable to drier, upland conditions, which makes it a great fit for most garden conditions. Acer rubrum is also a host plant for a number of caterpillar species which, alongside seeds, attract a number of birds to the summer and fall garden.

This 'October Glory' selection was grown from the ground up here at Unity Church Hill Nursery.

Marylanders Plant Trees

From the Maryland Department of Natural Resources:

"We launched Marylanders Plant Trees in 2009 to encourage citizens and organizations to partner with the State to plant new trees. Today, citizens can still take advantage of our coupon program to receive $25 off the purchase of a native tree at 86 participating nurseries across the State. The State cost of $20 per coupon is funded through a settlement from a major power generator for Clean Air Act violations, in partnership with the Office of the Attorney General, and Maryland’s participating tree vendors are generously absorbing the remaining $5.

Trees must be planted in the state of Maryland to qualify for $25 off coupon.
Wholesale customers do not qualify.
