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.
Care Guide
Plant in full sun, almost any soil. Very adaptable to wet or dry conditions. Minimal pruning needed — develops a strong central leader naturally. Water during establishment. One of the most trouble-free shade trees available. Fall color is consistent and spectacular.
