Crimson King Maple [Acer Platanoides 'Crimson King']
This is a densely branched tree with glossy maroon foliage all season. It has a straight trunk with a well-shaped canopy. This tree is slower growing than green-leaf types.
The red oak (Quercus rubra) was adopted as Prince Edward Island's official tree in 1905.
Found throughout the province during the early years of European settlement, the red oak's fine-grained wood was highly sought after by furniture makers who milled the tree to practical extinction on the Island. The province has since created the Royalty Oaks Natural Area in Charlottetown as a reserve for these majestic trees.
