Pacific Sunset® Maple is an excellent medium-sized tree that is relatively pest-free and very tolerant of urban conditions. This hybrid maple combines the best qualities of its parents Acer truncatum and Acer platanoides. It has very glossy dark green leaves that will develop a mixed fall color of yellows, oranges, and reds. Pacific Sunset® colors earlier and a little brighter, with a finer texture and spreading habit than Norwegian Sunset®. A J. Frank Schmidt Nursery introduction.
