of the most common of the flowering maple trees is the Autumn
Blaze maple tree. This flowering maple tree has small red
blooms that appear usually in late March or early April. The
blooms are small and grow in clusters. One of the characteristics
of this flowering maple tree that makes it extremely popular
is its bright red new wood and fall color. From the red blooms
in the spring to the crimson foliage in the fall, this flowering
maple tree is a perfect addition to any landscape.
A second
common flowering maple tree is the October Glory red maple.
This flowering maple tree also has small red clusters of flowers
that appear in the mid spring months. These clusters of flowers
will emerge before any leaves are on the tree. The dark green
leaves of this flowering maple tree are held well into the
fall months. The late coming foliage change creates an array
of yellows, oranges and reds, and is well worth the wait.

third popular flowering maple tree is the trident maple tree.
