This Norway Maple has attractive bright red “keys” that are an added feature of this lovely tree.
Yellow flowers in spring contrast beautifully with emerging purple foliage.
Supposedly Acer platanoides Royal Red is smaller and hardier than ‘Crimson King’, however there is an underlying suspicion that it is in fact the same tree but with a different name!

Mature heights and crown spread can vary depending on environmental conditions
Mature height: 12-17m
Mature spread: 8-12m
