Apollo Maple

If you’ve always wanted the legendary beauty of a Sugar Maple but didn't think you had the "back forty" to house one, the Apollo Maple is your answer. Unlike its massive, sprawling cousins, this unique cultivar grows in a narrow, columnar silhouette that is perfectly suited for modern residential landscapes. Its name is a nod to its upward, rocket-like habit—making it an ideal choice for framing a driveway, creating a sophisticated privacy screen, or adding vertical interest to a tight corner.

The Apollo doesn't just save space; it’s a high-performance tree with thick, leathery foliage that stands up to summer heat better than many other Maples. When the first crisp breeze of autumn arrives, it lives up to its heritage, transforming into a breathtaking pillar of neon orange and brilliant gold. It is a slow-to-moderate grower, which means less pruning and more time enjoying its perfectly symmetrical form. For the gardener who wants big fall impact on a small footprint, the Apollo Maple is a "giant" leap forward.
