Autumn Blaze Maple

Autumn Blaze Maple (Acer × freemanii) is a hybrid tree that is known for its vibrant, fiery red foliage during the fall, which gives it its name "Autumn Blaze." This deciduous tree is favored for its quick growth, reaching up to 40-50 feet in height with a similar spread, making it a popular choice for landscaping. Its oval to rounded crown creates a dense canopy, providing exceptional shade, and its branches tend to stay strong, even under harsh weather conditions, which adds to its appeal as a sturdy, resilient tree.

The Autumn Blaze Maple thrives in a variety of soil types and can adapt to different climates, making it an excellent choice for a wide range of regions. It has a moderate to fast growth rate, often adding up to 3 feet per year. In addition to its stunning fall color, this tree offers attractive green leaves in the summer, which are larger than those of the silver maple. It is also relatively low-maintenance, requiring minimal pruning once established. As a result, the Autumn Blaze Maple has become a favorite in residential and urban landscapes, providing both aesthetic beauty and practical benefits such as shade and privacy.
