Acer rubrum ‘ PNI 0268 ‘ October Glory
Bare Rooted

Acer rubrum ‘PNI 0268’ October Glory® is one of the most popular red maple cultivars, valued for its vigorous growth, strong branching structure, and exceptional autumn colour. This hardy deciduous tree develops a dense, symmetrical oval to rounded crown, making it an outstanding choice for shade, avenue planting, and feature landscapes.

During spring and summer, the tree is covered with glossy, rich green leaves that provide dense cooling shade. In early spring, clusters of small red flowers appear before the foliage emerges, adding subtle seasonal interest. As temperatures cool in autumn, the foliage transforms into a breathtaking display of brilliant crimson, scarlet, and deep red tones that often persist longer than many other maple varieties, extending the autumn colour season.

October Glory® grows at a moderate to fast rate and typically reaches 12–15 metres in height with a spread of 9–12 metres at maturity. It thrives in full sun to light partial shade and performs best in moist, fertile, well-drained, slightly acidic soils, although it is adaptable to a wide range of soil types. Once established, it shows good tolerance to urban conditions, seasonal wet soils, and moderate drought.

This cultivar is widely used as a specimen tree, shade tree, street tree, and park tree due to its reliable performance, attractive form, and low maintenance requirements. Its vibrant autumn display, strong structure, and adaptability make October Glory® Red Maple an excellent choice for residential gardens, commercial landscapes, and public spaces where year-round beauty and dependable seasonal colour are desired.
