Autumn Blaze Maple

Acer x freemanii

Autumn Blaze Maple is a cross of the Red and Silver Maple. Leaves emerge in the spring with a reddish tint, and then turn green in the summer. With the shorter days of fall the leaves take on a brilliant shade of orange and red that gives rise to its name. The Autumn Blaze is very adaptable to a wide range of climate and soil conditions. It tolerates clay soil and will withstand wet soil conditions and drought.
