Notes
'Autumn Blaze' maple (Acer freemanii 'Autumn Blaze') is a tree for borders, containers, and low maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. It is drought tolerant once settled in. It also grows well in acid or neutral soil. Give it plenty of room, since it can reach about 40 to 50 feet tall.
Pairs well with Siebold's hosta, Coralbells, and Foam flower.
