Prunus rubrum ‘Brandywine’, also known as the Brandywine Red Maple, is a striking ornamental tree that is celebrated for its exceptional autumn colour, graceful form, and versatile nature, making it an ideal choice for both urban and rural landscapes. A cultivated variety of the native North American Red Maple, the Brandywine offers a tidy, oval crown that grows into a balanced, upright tree, perfect for smaller gardens or larger landscape designs. In the warmer months, it showcases lush green foliage that provides dense shade, while its most remarkable feature is its vivid, long-lasting autumn display, transforming into brilliant crimson and deep wine-red hues, often lingering longer than other maple varieties. Its adaptability to a wide range of soil types and environments, from wet to dry areas, as well as its resistance to urban pollution, make it an excellent choice for city planting or more naturalised garden settings.
