Acer rubrum drummondii ~ Drummond Red Maple

The Drummond Red Maple, also known as Acer rubrum 'Drummondii', is a beautiful tree that offers a stunning display of color throughout the year. This variety of Red Maple is known for its variegated leaves, which are green in the center and bordered by a silvery-white color. In the fall, the leaves turn a vibrant red, creating a striking contrast. The Drummond Red Maple typically grows to a height of 30-40 feet with a spread of around 30-40 feet at maturity. It prefers full sun to partial shade and is adaptable to a variety of soil conditions, but it thrives best in slightly acidic, moist, well-drained soils. Like other maples, it's important to water this tree regularly, especially during dry periods. Pruning is best done in late summer or early fall to prevent sap bleed. This tree is a great choice for adding a unique color contrast to your landscape. It's also resistant to many pests and diseases, making it a relatively low-maintenance choice.
