Description
Acer platanoides Crimson Sentry is a smaller cultivar of the much larger Crimson King
Crimson Sentry Maple is a robust, round-headed deciduous tree with striking, dark purple-red leaves that appear almost black in the summer. Large clusters of eye-catching, deep yellow flowers which are tinged with red appear on bare branches in spring, with luminescent crimson foliage in the autumn.
Good for screening out unattractive buildings, it tolerates pollution and heavy ground, thriving on most free draining soils. Its fast growth can be easily controlled with regular pruning.
A perfect specimen tree for a sunny site where the light catches the rich ruby tone of the foliage, Acer platanoides Crimson Sentry is a great tree for a medium sized garden.
