The red maple is an
important constituent of the forests of the eastern US. It is found from
Quebec, south to Florida, west to eastern Texas, and north to Minnesota
and southern Ontario. It can be grown in Iowa, but gardeners need to consult
nurseries on the most suitable cultivars for a particular area. The best
growth is achieved on moist, acid soils. The new growth and leaf stalks
are often red and the fall color is variable from yellow to brilliant red
or scarlet. Cultivars will produce the most dependable fall color.
