Boasting a neat, narrow form, 'Scanlon' is a medium-sized, deciduous maple valued for its upright, columnar habit and bright autumn foliage. This compact, dense maple typically branches low and grows to around 12m tall with a narrow crown spread. The dark green, lobed leaves emerge red in spring alongside clusters of small, red flowers on bare branches, and the shiny foliage turns brilliant shades of orange and red in autumn. With its tidy habit, red flowers, red twigs, and colourful autumn hues,this red maple is an excellent choice for landscapes needing a vertical ‘showpiece’ accent. As with all red maples, neutral to acid soils will produce the strongest leaf colour.
