Autumn Blaze Maple
We are often asked what a good tree would be for a site - usually the customer would like a fast growing tree - beautiful fall color - they don’t have the best of soil conditions, etc. Almost without hesitation we can recommend the Autumn Blaze Maple.
The Autumn Blaze Maple is the most popular shade tree on the landscape market. We sell more Autumn Blaze than any other variety. It is a hybrid maple, Acer x freemanii “Jeffersred” by it’s formal name. It will grow to be a full sized maple tree - 50′ to 60′ in height and can get as wide as 30′ to 40′! It will adapt to almost all kinds of soil conditions and since it is a hybrid - has a vigorous growth rate.
As you can see in the picture here - the fall color is truly awesome! We planted this tree as a small 15 gal container tree - about 6′-7′ tall and in less than ten years - it has grown to be a wonderful shade tree in this customer’s yard.
With the values that you will find during our fall sale - now is definitely the time to come and pick out an Autumn Blaze! You can pick one up and take it home and plant it - or you can hire our crews to plant it for you. Just as our sales staff for all the details!
