Detailed Description:
Maple ‘Drummond’ is a Southern-adapted red maple selection especially well-suited to the Gulf Coast. It grows quickly into a rounded shade tree and is prized for its consistent, brilliant red fall color — a rare trait in our warm climate. While it can reach 50+ feet in ideal conditions, in most landscapes it is maintained at 35–45 feet tall. Unlike many northern maples, ‘Drummond’ tolerates heavier soils and higher humidity, making it a dependable choice for shade, specimens, or street plantings in Houston-area landscapes.
