Below, we describe Acer campestre ‘Red Shine’. It is a tree that remains relatively small and forms a pyramidal crown; its final height ranges from 8 to 12 meters.
These characteristics make the tree suitable for planting along streets, in parks, and on green belts. The tree has few soil requirements.
This cultivar is probably the most striking of the Acer campestre cultivars in terms of color. Its three- to five-lobed leaves start out red and later turn a darker shade of green.
Small, yellow-green flowers appear in May. Winged fruits appear during the summer, always in pairs.
The tree was introduced around 1980 by the Ton van den Oever tree nursery in Haaren.
