Description

Autumn Blaze Red Maple (Acer × freemanii 'Jeffersred') is a fast-growing deciduous shade tree celebrated for its brilliant autumn foliage and impressive landscape presence. Deep green, deeply lobed leaves create a dense summer canopy before transforming into vivid shades of orange-red and scarlet in fall. The colorful foliage often remains attractive for an extended period, making this tree a standout seasonal feature. Its upright branches develop into a broad, oval-shaped crown that provides generous summer shade. Combining the ornamental appeal of red maple with the vigor of silver maple, Autumn Blaze adapts to a range of soil conditions, including heavier soils. Ideal for large lawns, parks, and spacious gardens, it delivers rapid growth and spectacular fall color.
