Acer x freemanii ‘Jeffersred’
Zone: 3
Size: 50’ H x 40’ W
This fast-growing, adaptable tree is well known for its superior, bright maroon fall color. It seldom produces helicopters (virtually seedless), so it works well for shading decks and patios. While ‘Autumn Blaze’ thrives in neutral soils with consistent moisture, it also tolerates heavy clay and dry conditions. Due to its silver maple genetics, this tree has a substantial root system and that should be kept in mind when choosing planting locations. All Freeman Maples are crosses between Acer rubrum (Red Maple) and Acer saccharinum (Silver Maple).
