Maple 'Crimson King'Command attention with a "kingly" presence in your landscape. The 'Crimson King' is a show stopping specimen known for its dense, symmetrical canopy of large, deeply lobed leaves that boast a rich, royal maroon to purple hue. Unlike other trees that fade to green in the heat of summer, this maple holds its dramatic dark colour all season long, providing a bold and sophisticated contrast against the standard greens of a typical garden.
