Maple - Autumn Blaze

 The Autumn Blaze Maple (Acer × freemanii 'Jeffersred') is a popular hybrid maple tree known for its vibrant fall color, rapid growth, and adaptability. A cross between the red maple (Acer rubrum) and the silver maple (Acer saccharinum), this tree combines the best traits of both parents—fast growth, strong branching, and stunning scarlet-red foliage in autumn. It typically grows 40 to 50 feet tall with a rounded, oval shape and a spread of 30 to 40 feet. The Autumn Blaze Maple thrives in a wide range of soils, tolerates urban conditions well, and is relatively resistant to pests and diseases. Its brilliant fall display, coupled with its low-maintenance nature, makes it a favorite choice for residential landscapes, parks, and street plantings.
