Autumn Blaze® Maple Tree

Autumn Blaze® Maple is one of the most reliable fall-color trees of all the maples: lush green summer leaves turn a spectacular dark orange and red, with the color starting at the top and seeping down until the whole tree is covered. The show starts earlier and lasts longer than on other trees. A hybrid of red and silver maple, it combines brilliant fall foliage with fast, vigorous, sturdy growth. Tolerant of a wide variety of growing conditions, cold-hardy with no winter damage, and largely pest and disease-free, it is a low-maintenance shade tree for parks, streets, and suburban yards.

Fall Color That Starts Early and Lasts Long

Autumn Blaze® delivers the kind of fall display people plant maples for. As the weather cools, the color begins at the crown and works its way down the tree until every branch glows dark orange and red. It arrives earlier and holds longer than the color on other trees, so you get weeks of show instead of days.

Red Maple Color, Silver Maple Vigor

This improved hybrid takes the best of both parents. The red maple side provides the brilliant fall foliage, and the silver maple side provides the vigorous, sturdy growth. The result is a fast-growing shade tree that fills in quickly, which is why it is such a popular choice for parks, streets, and suburban settings.

Adaptable and Low-Maintenance

Autumn Blaze® is tolerant of a wide variety of growing conditions and can withstand colder regions without winter damage. It is also largely pest and disease-free, so you can enjoy the shade and the color without a lot of upkeep.
