Bowhall Red Maple

Acer rubrum Bowhall, or Bowhall Red Maple, is a superb urban tree introduced in the United States in 1948. With a symmetrical ascending habit, it thrives in narrow spaces, making it ideal for city planting where space is limited. Although its autumn colour is less vivid than other Acer rubrum varieties, it still showcases a pleasing display of yellow and orange leaves in October.

This low-maintenance tree can reach a mature height of 12-17 meters and a width of just 4 meters, resembling a Lombardy Poplar in shape.

Acer rubrum Bowhall is an excellent choice for those seeking a controlled, elegant tree that performs well in urban environments.
