Additional Notes about Brandywine Maple:


A cross of red maple cultivars ‘October Glory’ and ‘Autumn Flame’, the variant ‘Brandywine’, was released for its resistance to leafhoppers. It turns colour later in the fall than the popular 'October Glory'. Depending on the season and climatic conditions, it can have a long-lasting show of colour ranging from orange to red to brilliant purple. This is a male tree, producing no seeds.
