In forests, the trunk is tall and branch-free for some height, while open-grown trees are shorter, thicker, and have a rounded crown. Trees in poor conditions may grow irregularly. The crown shape is usually uneven, with shoots that curve upwards. The young bark is smooth and pale grey, darkening and developing cracks into plates as the tree matures. The tallest known red maple is in Armada, Michigan, standing at 125 feet with a trunk circumference of 16 feet 3 inches.
