View prices and availability
Strongly growing selection of the U.S. National Arboretum, with an oval crown. The tree was selected in a hybridisation programme, with the aim of achieving improved resistance to leafhoppers. It was derived by crossing A. rubrum ‘Red Sunset’ with ‘Autumn Flame’. The dark green leaf turns deep red in autumn. Highly suitable as an avenue, street and park tree. Also fine for use along driveways and such like. Its growth will stagnate on calcareous soil. In such soil, as with very dry soil, the autumn change of colour will be less noticeable. Intolerant to (sea) wind.
