Description

Autumn Blaze Maple is a incredibly fast-growing hybrid maple that combines the best traits of Silver and Red Maples. It delivers a reliable, vibrant red-orange fall display, tolerates a wide range of soils (including clay), and grows rapidly to provide quick shade. It's a top choice for a large, fast specimen where quick impact is desired.

  • Grows extremely rapidly, making it one of the fastest ways to establish a large shade tree.

  • Provides a consistent and showy display of orange-red to scarlet fall color.

  • Highly adaptable to various soil conditions, including wet and compacted soils, and has good drought tolerance once established.
