Autumn Blaze® Red Maple Hardy, Fast-Growing Maple with Lasting Fall Color Autumn Blaze (Acer fremanii) is prized as the fastest growing Maple tree with a hardy nature and brilliant color. It would feel right at home beside your house to soften the hot summer sun or along a street or sidewalk. Due to its upward growth, the Autumn Blaze works well in clusters or as a stand-alone planting. This Maple was introduction in 1982 as a cross between the red and silver Maple to provide a stronger and more color–consistent Maple for your home. It has rapidly become a highly sought after Maple variety in the US. Imagine the beauty of the Autumn Blaze in your yard in the spring. Its 60 feet of reaching branches and 40 foot wide oval canopy create an image of symmetry year round. The leaves emerge not as simply green, but already with a slight reddish tint. Through the summer you can almost watch it grow-up to 3+ feet each year! In the fall the 5 inch orange-red leaves will still be dazzling your neighbors when other trees have long since faded. One of the best things about the Autumn Blaze is that it’s carefree. You’ll never have to rake up messy seedlings or twigs. It’s even disease and pest resistant, so no messy sprays or treatments. In drought conditions, this Maple can persevere on its own. When your neighbor is watching the heavy snows damage their trees, your Autumn Blaze will stand firm. The Autumn Blaze Maple has won several “tree of the year” awards for its amazing unequaled qualities, and will certainly be a priceless addition to your home. * Fastest-Growing Maple* Hardy* Long lasting fall color

Having a Sunburst Locust is a way for you to have all the benefits of a Locust tree without the two features many people dislike.

This gives the foliage a tropical, fern-like appearance and will feel pleasantly soft and smooth as you run the leaves through your fingers. Leaves begin as yellow in the spring, transition to green and again turn yellow in the fall. Small green-yellow flowers form in the spring and into early summer, but aren’t very showy. Bees and other pollinators will love the Locust in your yard though, and make good use of those early blooms. The Sunburst Locust’s hardy nature means you won’t have to provide any special care to ensure its success. It can also grow up to 2 feet a year, so you won’t have to wait long for a mature tree to grace your yard.
