A reporter from local news station KFOR supposedly called it the biggest, most destructive tornado in the history of the world, and estimated it was two to three times the magnitude of the massive tornados that hit Oklahoma in 1999. Updates to come. Updates:
Acer ârubrumâ refers to the color red, and red is certainly this treeâs defining feature. When fall arrives, your Red Maple will be one of the first to color, quickly cloaking itself in more of the vibrant red shades that give it its name.
The red maple is a fast-growing tree, often reaching 50 to 90 feet in height. The growth rate varies depending on the variety of the tree and growing conditions, but the average rate is 1 to 2 feet per year.
