Below, we’ll take a closer look at Acer rubrum ‘Scanlon’. It is a tree that forms a slender to narrow columnar crown. The tree can grow to a height of 10 to 12 meters with a crown width of 3 to 4 meters. Because of this columnar crown shape, the tree is well-suited for use along avenues and streets.
Acer rubrum ‘Scanlon’ does not tolerate locations with strong (sea) winds very well; a slightly sheltered location is preferable. The tree grows well in humus-rich, well-drained soil. It does not tolerate heavy clay soils or wet locations very well.
The lobed leaves are a beautiful, glossy green with red petioles. In the fall, the leaves turn shades of orange and red.
