Acer Platanoides ‘Crimson Sentry’ (Crimson Sentry Norway Maple) is a striking deciduous feature tree valued for its upright, compact growth habit and rich burgundy-purple foliage. Its dense canopy creates strong vertical impact in the landscape, making it ideal for driveways, entrances, formal gardens, streetscapes, and feature planting where space is limited. The deep coloured leaves provide a bold contrast against green planting schemes and add elegant seasonal interest from spring through autumn.
Perfect for customers wanting a dramatic ornamental tree with structure and reliable garden performance, Acer Platanoides ‘Crimson Sentry’ offers beauty without requiring the spread of larger maple varieties. Its narrow form makes it suitable for smaller landscapes, avenue planting, and areas needing height without excessive width. Hardy and eye-catching, this Norway Maple is an excellent choice for adding colour, shade, and architectural appeal to both residential and commercial garden designs.
