Bowhall Maple

Bowhall Maple is a narrow, upright red maple valued for bright fall color, clean vertical form, and dependable shade-tree presence. Its columnar habit makes it especially useful for streetscapes, entries, lawn borders, and tighter landscape spaces where broad-canopy trees may not fit.

Why choose Bowhall Maple?

Choose Bowhall Maple for the beauty of a red maple in a more space-conscious, upright shape. It brings strong seasonal color, handsome green summer foliage, and a formal silhouette that works well in rows, along drives, or as a vertical accent near open lawn areas. This deciduous shade tree is practical for landscapes that need height, structure, and autumn impact without the wider spread of many traditional maples.

Key Characteristics

Botanical Name: Acer rubrum ‘Bowhall’
Common Name: Bowhall Maple
Plant Type: Deciduous tree
Growth Habit: Narrow upright to columnar shade tree

Bowhall Maple Additional Information

Bowhall Maple is a selected form of red maple known for its upright branching and narrow canopy, making it a strong choice for formal landscapes, street-side plantings, and areas where vertical structure is desired. In spring, small red flowers may appear before the leaves, followed by fresh green foliage that creates a neat summer canopy. In autumn, the leaves typically shift to attractive red, orange-red, or warm fall tones, with exact color influenced by site conditions and seasonal weather.

This tree is deciduous, dropping its leaves in fall and revealing an orderly winter framework. It performs best in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil, though it adapts to a range of average landscape soils once established. Use Bowhall Maple as a specimen, in matched rows, near driveways, along streets, or in larger beds where its root zone and canopy have space to develop. Light structural pruning while young helps maintain a strong central form.

Planting & Care

1. Planting: Plant Bowhall Maple in full sun to partial shade with moist, well-drained soil and enough room for its upright canopy and root system to mature. Set the root flare at or slightly above the surrounding soil level.

2. Watering: Water deeply after planting and keep soil evenly moist during establishment. Once established, provide supplemental water during extended dry periods, especially in hot, exposed, or compacted sites.

3. Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch mulch layer over the root zone to conserve moisture and moderate soil temperature. Keep mulch pulled several inches away from the trunk to protect the bark.

4. Pruning: Prune young trees selectively to encourage a strong central leader and well-spaced branches. Remove dead, crossing, or damaged growth during dormancy, avoiding heavy unnecessary pruning on mature trees.
