Fall Tree Program Tree Descriptions
'Brandywine' is a male seedless variety of Red maple.
Fall color is a brilliant scarlet that gradually turns reddish-purple.
This tree has a shallow, flattened root system that may buckle nearby sidewalks or driveways if planted too close.
It is a medium to fast growing tree with the typical umbrella-like
form of the American elm and lustrous dark green foliage. It has an
outstanding resistance to Dutch elm disease.
Tolerates part shade. Also tolerates wind, many urban pollutants
and a wide range of soil conditions, including both wet, dry and poor soils.
Seeds can pose clean up problems if trees are sited near sidewalks or patios, however.
Best grown in rich, moist, well-drained soils in full sun to part
shade. Tolerates full sun, but has little tolerance for drought
particularly when young. Best sited in a location protected from
strong winds and hot afternoon sun. This is a dioecious tree
(male and female flowers on separate trees).
Easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils in
full sun to part shade. Tolerates some drought. ’Redmond’ is a pyramidal

shrub borders. Use in foundation plantings, near patios or on the
periphery of woodland areas. Will grow in wet soils such as those
found in low spots or near ponds/streams.
