Autumn Blaze® Maple — 30 Gallon
(Acer × freemanii ‘Autumn Blaze’)
The Autumn Blaze® Maple is one of the most popular shade trees in America, prized for its rapid growth, strong structure, and brilliant fall color. This hybrid maple combines the best traits of red maple and silver maple, giving homeowners a tree that grows quickly while maintaining a balanced, attractive canopy.
In autumn, the tree explodes with intense crimson-red foliage, often earlier and brighter than many other maples. Its upright oval form makes it ideal for lawns, street plantings, and larger landscapes where a fast-growing shade tree is desired.
A 30-gallon Autumn Blaze Maple is already a substantial landscape tree, typically 10–12 feet tall, and can quickly become a focal point in the yard while providing meaningful shade within just a few seasons.
