Created from red and silver maple parents, ‘Autumn Blaze’ combines the best of both: rapid growth, strong branch structure and spectacular scarlet‑orange fall colour. Seedless and pollution‑tolerant, it matures to 15–20 m with a broad‑oval crown and thrives in USDA zones 3‑8 on most soils, from sandy to clay. Reliably heat and drought resistant once established, it is an ideal shade or street tree requiring minimal upkeep.
