Freeman Maple 'Autumn Blaze', Acer × freemanii 'Jeffersred', Acer platanoides 'Autumn Blaze', Acer rubrum 'Autumn Blaze', Acer saccharinum 'Autumn Blaze'
Highly popular, award-winning Acer x freemanii ‘Autumn Blaze’ (Freeman Maple) is a fast-growing, large deciduous tree noted for its ascending branch habit and glorious fall color. Its dense, oval to rounded canopy of deeply cut, bright green leaves turns brilliant orange-scarlet to crimson-red in fall. The delicate foliage holds its color for several weeks before shedding to the ground. This Freeman Maple also provides some winter interest with its smooth, thin, gray bark that becomes slightly furrowed with age. ‘Autumn Blaze’ is excellent as a specimen planting and one of the most brilliant Japanese Maples for fall color. It is drought-tolerant when established and grows in most soils.
