Acer platanoides 'Autumn Blaze' – Acer platanoides 'Autumn Blaze'

View prices and availability
Vigorously growing, large tree with a straight central leader and a regular, ovoid crown, up to 20 m in height. The young leaf is bright yellow to greenish-yellow. Later in summer it turns yellow-green. Very striking, especially in spring, but in summer, too, the brightly coloured young shoots give the tree a fresh appearance. In autumn the leaf turns yellow to orange. Not to be confused with Acer ×freemanii Autumn Blaze (‘Jeffersred’), which is a completely different tree. Highly suitable for narrower avenues and streets, and on squares. Grows on any soil, but does not tolerate stagnating groundwater and peaty soils.
