  1. Red - Jul 04, 2013
    Minneapolis, Minnesota (Hardiness Zone: 4)

    My tree came in the Autumn and has held up against a Cold Minnesota winter. Now there is considerable more growth of leaves on the tree and it has got taller. I am pleased with this purchase and Sooner plant farm and will be purchasing items in the future I cannot buy locally.

  2. Carol - Jun 07, 2015
    Utah (Hardiness Zone: 3)

    I planted 5 gallon pots of 2 red rockets and 1 super sonic last fall. They are doing wonderful this spring with full foliage. Time will tell how these trees do in my area at 6500 feet and long winters. So far so good.

  3. Fatherbird - Sep 07, 2017
    Lexington, Kentucky (Hardiness Zone: 6)

    I planted 3 in April of 2016 and 1 in October 2016. They have all done tremendously well and have lots of growth. One of them sent up a new leader that is already as tall as the tree was when I planted it!

Interesting Notes About RED ROCKET MAPLE

Red Rocket is a National Arboretum release. High level of leaf hopper tolerance combined with a strongly columnar crown. May prove to be the best of tall and narrow maples.
