The Autumn Blaze Maple is a fast-growing, hybrid deciduous tree prized for its spectacular, long-lasting vibrant red fall colour. A cross between the Red and Silver Maple, it combines the best traits of both: brilliant autumn foliage, strong branch structure, and good adaptability.
It features a strong, oval to rounded crown with dense, deep green summer foliage that turns a uniform, fiery scarlet in early autumn. Notably hardy and tolerant of a wide range of soils, including clay and wetter sites, it thrives in full sun and is cold-hardy to Zone 3.
Resistant to leafhopper damage, it shows better leaf quality than many Silver Maples. An excellent choice as a shade tree for lawns, parks, and streets, its rapid growth and reliable, stunning fall display make it one of the most popular landscape maples. It requires minimal maintenance once established.
