Deborah Maple is a vigorous, large shade tree valued for its uniform shape and reliable performance. Its leaves emerge a striking red-bronze in spring, mature to lustrous green through summer, then turn clear yellow-gold in fall. Reaching a stately height, it casts dense, welcome shade over lawns and patios. Plant it in sun to part shade, where it adapts well to urban soils and conditions. Its symmetrical, upright canopy needs little pruning to look its best. For fast, dependable shade with multi-season color, Deborah is a classic.
