If you want a large, fast-growing tree with spectacular fall color,
Autumn Blaze® maple is an excellent choice. This dependable
selection of Acer x freemanii ('Jeffsred', P.P. No 4864) is a hybrid
of red (A. rubrum) and silver (A. saccharinum) maple that combines
the best features of both: it has the vigor and adaptability of the
silver maple along with the beauty and strength of the red maple. It
has received excellent ratings from all parts of the U.S. and is also
very popular in Australia, New Zealand and Canada.

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. This tree will grow in a wide range of
climates from Wisconsin to central Florida, and is hardy in USDA
zones 3-8. Consider it for a site that isn’t right for red or sugar
maple, or as a more colorful alternative in place of silver or Norway
maples.

Like its silver maple parent, Autumn Blaze® grows quickly. The growth rate of this cultivar is about four times faster than
that of a red maple. Under optimal conditions it can grow 3 feet or more per year. Eventually it will grow to 50 feet tall and 40
feet wide. At maturity it will have an oval to rounded crown with ascending branches and a well-defined central leader. This
tree is not as susceptible to storm damage as silver maple because it has superior crotch angles and a well-balanced branching
habit (inherited from its red maple parent) but still has the weaker wood characteristic of the silver maple. It grows in a very
uniform shape, so requires little pruning.

Summer foliage is medium green. In the fall Autumn Blaze® consistently develops brilliant, long-lasting orange-red color.
This vivid color, as well as its rapid growth rate, is the main reason to plant this tree. It also has some winter interest , with the
new growth retaining a red color after leaf drop that persists until the following season.

With its distinct upright oval form, Autumn Blaze® is excellent as a specimen planting, but can also be used in groups.
Because of it size it is most appropriate for the larger yard, commercial landscapes and parks.

Autumn Blaze® has fewer problems with leafhoppers and verticillium wilt that adversely affect some slower growing
maples. Since it's a seedless cultivar, you won't have to worry about weeding out thousands of seedlings.
