Description: The vibrant bright red fall color of this maple is a showstopper in gardens. Mesa Glow®, a cultivar of the native bigtooth maple, was developed by Rolston St. Hilaire at New Mexico State University. It is an upright, oval-shaped tree with dark green leaves that has been cultivated to be drought tolerant, resistant to fungal disease and fast growing as well as to display a bigger red color than other bigtooth maple cultivars.
