Autumn Blaze Maple
Acer × freemanii 'Jeffersred'
Autumn Blaze is the best of both worlds — the fast growth of silver maple crossed with the brilliant red fall color of red maple. It's become the #1 selling shade tree in America for good reason: gorgeous uniform oval shape, orange-red fall color, fast growth (3+ ft/year), and tolerance of a wide range of conditions. Stronger wood than silver maple.
