October Glory

Here's my tribute to the last day of October. This was taken a couple of days ago of a Red Maple in front of our house. It's a late bloomer which makes me wonder if this is the October Glory cultivar of Red Maple. I have read somewhere that these trees would have been better named November Glory. If not October Glory then Red Sunset. Does anyone out there know how to tell the difference? In a few more years, we may find out because we planted one of each in the back yard this fall along with a Legacy Sugar Maple, Fiesta Sugar Maple, Autumn Blaze Red Maple Silver Maple cross, Burgundy Belle Red Maple and Brandywine Red Maple. We are waiting for the Yoshino Cherries to arrive from arborday next month.
