Acer rubrum ‘Schlesinger’, commonly known as Schlesinger Red Maple, is a deciduous tree native to North America. Schlesinger Red Maple is a medium to large-sized tree that typically reaches a height of 40 to 60 feet (12 to 18 meters) with a similar spread. It has an upright, rounded crown and a dense branching structure. The leaves of Schlesinger Red Maple are medium-sized and palmate, consisting of three to five lobes with serrated edges. The leaves have a bright green colour in spring and summer, turning shades of yellow, orange, or red in the fall, creating a stunning display of autumn colours.
This cultivar of Red Maple known for its adaptability to a variety of conditions. It is versatile when it comes to soil adaptability and can tolerate different soil types, including clay, loam, and sandy soils. It grows best in full sun to partial shade but can tolerate some shade as well.
This maple cultivar requires regular watering, particularly during dry periods, to ensure adequate soil moisture. Mulching around the base of the tree helps retain soil moisture and suppress weed growth. Minimal pruning is recommended mainly done to remove dead or damaged branches or to maintain a desired shape. We recommend pruning your trees during the dormant season to minimize stress and maximise re-growth.
