The Armstrong Red Maple features a columnar or fastigiate shape, meaning it grows in a narrow and upright form. This makes it an excellent choice for landscapes with limited space or for creating vertical interest. The leaves are green during the spring and summer months, but in the fall, they turn a vibrant shade of red, adding a burst of color to the landscape.

This deciduous tree thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well-draining soil. It is relatively low-maintenance and can tolerate a range of soil conditions, including clay and sandy soils. Regular watering is important, especially during dry periods, to keep the soil consistently moist.
