Autumn Flame Red Maple
This cultivar of Red Maple has an round shape and is a fast grower
with strong wood, reaching a height of 45 to 50 feet (Fig. 1). The
crown is denser and more uniform than the species. Unless irrigated or
on a wet site, red maple is best used north of USDA hardiness zone 9.

Trees are often shorter in the southern part of its range unless
growing next to a stream or on a wet site. This tree is preferred over
Silver Maple or Boxelder when a fast growing maple is needed.
The newly emerging leaves and red flowers and fruits signal that
spring has come. They appear in December and January in Florida,
later in the northern part of its range. The seeds of Red Maple are
quite popular with squirrels and birds.
