Bowhall Red Maple – Acer rubrum 'Bowhall'

12–18 Inch Tall Columnar Maple Tree

Add beautiful seasonal color and elegant vertical structure to your landscape with the Bowhall Red Maple. This distinctive cultivar of Red Maple (Acer rubrum 'Bowhall') is prized for its tall, narrow, columnar growth habit and brilliant fall foliage.
