From a distance I thought these trees were covered in red flowers. They’re actually maple leaf seeds (the “helicopters”) with red tips!
I’ve never seen anything like this before! From Echter’s Nursery:
A spectacular new addition for smaller home landscapes, this is a smaller accent tree that features blazing red hot seeds in late summer and fiery fall colors; more tolerant of drought and alkaline conditions than the otherwise similar Amur maple – Echter’s
The normal maple trees in the neighborhood are currently in bloom and the smell is divine.
