Rocky Mountain Glow® Bigtooth Maple
Acer grandidentatum 'Schmidt'
Tree Type: medium-sized shade ornamental
Hardiness Zone: 4
Height: 25 feet
Spread: 15 feet
Sun: full sun to partial shade
Water Needs: moderate
Soil Composition: adaptable, very tolerant of poor soil
Growth Rate: slow
Maintenance: minimal
Flowers: inconspicuous in spring
Description: A native to the Rocky Mountain region, a small to medium deciduous tree with fall colors varying from red to orange. Similar in look to a sugar maple but slower growing. A great option for almost any yard looking for a deciduous ornamental.
Ornamental Features: Dark green leaves, uniform oval shaped canopy and attractive fall colors.
Planting & Growing: Requires occasional deep soaking to keep healthy. Subject to winter sunscald on bark and some chlorosis. Prune regularly to promote health, provide air circulation, maintain a desirable shape, and to remove dead or damaged branches. Pruning is best done in late winter to early spring for most trees. Prune after the blooms are spent. Protect the trunk—especially where maintenance activities like mowing—may cause damage. Newly planted trees in areas with high exposure should have the trunk protected during the winter.
Best grown in front/back yards, and in the landscape parking strip at LEAST 7 feet wide, along city streets. Plant at least 10 feet from fire hydrants, ground-mounted utility boxes, buildings, fences, and driveways. Plant at least 5 feet from shrubs and other similar-sized trees. Plant 20 feet from large trees.
