Acer rubrum 'Frank Jr.'
Choose Redpointe Maple (Park Grade) if you want a healthy shade tree at a lower price and can accept minor shape, branching, or scarring issues. Skip it for a front-and-center specimen where clean form matters most.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B | It can become a strong shade tree, but Park Grade form may look uneven while it fills in. |
| Growth Rate | B+ | It should establish and grow at a useful pace when watered well during the early years. |
| Maintenance | B- | Expect some early pruning to improve structure and balance because these trees may have cosmetic imperfections. |
| Deer Resistance | C | Young trees like this can be browsed or rubbed by deer, so protect it while it establishes where pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | D | This is not the maple to squeeze near walks, patios, foundations, or overhead conflicts. |
| Screening Value | C | It provides seasonal canopy coverage, but it is not a privacy screen or evergreen buffer. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Park Grade for backyards, side lawns, and informal areas where value matters more than symmetry. For a highly visible front-yard focal tree, buy the regular Redpointe® Red Maple.

I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!
The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
Very nice
Guys installed for me as well
Great job
Huge selection and fast delivery. All plants arrived in great condition.
Great prices and Unbelievable selection of big and small trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials! Nicest folks to work with. And local delivery is awesome! First time purchasing from this company, , and have already told friends, neighbors and family. The owner Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and yet laid back in a most friendly way. Mags in the office will help with any details. My all time BEST garden purchase EVER!
Bought 8-10 ft and all were barely 8 if you count the container. Trees are thin and lots of brown branches and broken branches due you thrown in box truck no wrapping or anything. Hoping they survive and thicken up quick…
