'Sun Valley' Maple (Acer rubrum ‘Sun Valley’)
A fast-growing red maple, ‘Sun Valley’ brings outstanding fall color to a front yard. It’s a reliable shade tree with good leafhopper resistance. A medium size tree, growth tops out at 20 to 25 feet. Why we love it: This is a male variety—you won’t deal with seeds.
