This maple cultivar lives up to its name with its blazing red and glowing orange foliage that lasts all autumn long! The Autumn Blaze is an improved hybrid with an exceptional, long lasting orange-red fall color, a uniform branching habit and fast growth rate. Leaves emerge in the spring with a reddish tint and turn green in the summer. During the shorter days of fall, the leaves take on a brilliant shade of orange and red that gives the Autumn Blaze its name. Leaves are up to 5” long. The tree maintains a good central form and has wider angles than the silver maple, making it better adapted to areas with either ice or snow. The Autumn Blaze tends to thrive best in much warmer climates extending well into the deep south and west. It’s an excellent lawn, park or street tree.
