Reviewed By: Linda (Port Orchard, Washington) These are the most beautiful maple trees, I have ever seen. Must see the color to believe. Huge leaves that stay a deep purple throughout the season from start to finish. They line one of our streets and look so lovely!  -  Saturday, February 09, 2008 Beautiful tree Reviewed By: Steve (Copley, Ohio) My wife and I bought a home in January 2007. As spring arrived we were pleasantly surprised when the large maple in our front yard turned out to be a Crimson King! The leaves come in such a deeply rich red color. As the year goes on the leaves deepen more to a burgundy. Our home was built in 1960 and the tree must have been planted years before, as the trunk is about 2 feet in diameter. The tree is 25 feet high and wide, is the most strikingly beautiful we have ever seen. Many people in the neighborhood have approached us this past year to tell us how much they have always loved the tree. It is much slower growing than a standard sugar maple, but well worth the wait! I recommend this tree to anyone looking for that "focal point" in their yard.  -  Saturday, February 09, 2008 Great tree Reviewed By: Carol (Eldora, Iowa) This is a beautiful strong maple. Grows rather slow but it is due to the strengh of the tree. Nice color for any landscape.  -  Friday, March 27, 2009 Buy this tree!!!
