Planted Price (per tree): 1 tree–$200 | 2 trees–$175 | 3 or more trees–$150

Acer rubrum, commonly called red maple, is a medium-sized, deciduous tree that is native to Eastern North America from Quebec to Minnesota south to Florida and eastern Texas. It typically grows 40-60’ tall with a rounded to oval crown. Quality of red fall color on species plants is variable. Leaves (to 2-5″ long) have 3 principal triangular lobes (sometimes 5 lobes with the two lower lobes being largely suppressed). Lobes have toothed margins and pointed tips. Leaves are medium to dark green above and gray green below. Flowers on a given tree are primarily male or female or monoecious and appear in late winter to early spring (March-April) before the leaves. Fruit is a two-winged samara.

Specific epithet of rubrum meaning red is everywhere in evidence: red flowers in dense clusters in late March to early April (before the leaves appear), red fruit (initially reddish, two-winged samara), reddish stems and twigs, red buds, and, in the fall, excellent orange-red foliage color.

Red maple is one of the most popular shade trees in the eastern U.S. It is also a major component of the native habitat throughout its region. From red flowers to its beautiful bark, red maple offers a variety of interests for the landscape in all seasons of the year.

Growth habit: Red maple often has an irregular, rounded crown but its habit is quite variable.
Tree size: This medium- to fast-growing species may reach 40 to 60 feet in height, and up to 120 feet in the wild. Spread tends to be less than or equal to height.
Flower and fruit: Clusters of small red flowers bloom in March and April. Reddish, winged fruit called samaras or “keys” become brown and mature in May and June.
Leaf: Three- or five-lobed leaves unfold reddish and become green (underside lighter, with hairs) while leafstalks remain red. Fall color is variable from yellow through red. Use named cultivars for more brilliant fall color.

Our Story

In 1980 David Buchanan Sr. and his wife, Judy, bought the "40 acre farm" from Judy’s father, Charles Moore Sr. The Moore family had lived there since 1944. Our original office was a tenant house where Burns and Nell Baker raised their family. They lived in the home since the early forties even before Charles Moore Sr. purchased the farm. In the summer of 2005, David Buchanan and Lisa Carter became partners in Landscape Services Inc. a business that Lisa started in 1989. In 2006 David Sr., David Jr., and Lisa became partners and began planting what is now Lovers Lane Tree Farm.
