The Autumn Blaze Maple is one of the most popular new tree introductions in history.
Brilliant fall color without the mess and maintenance! You plant it and forget it.
Municipalities love these trees because they are very disease-resistant, even for maples. They're not bothered by car exhaust and they don't drop seed pods.
Autumn Blaze Maples are strong trees that resist ice damage and high winds. They adapt to a large range of soil conditions and climates.
The Autumn Blaze Maple™ is a hybrid of two famous trees, the red and silver maples, and it soon surpassed them in looks and popularity. It captured the two trees' quality characteristics, such as brilliant red color, dense branching, and rapid growth rate.
This is a clearly superior tree that you won't see in the big box stores for another 10 years. They only carry trees once the general public is familiar with them. Meanwhile, they offer cultivars that may be disease and insect prone.
We give the Autumn Blaze our highest recommendation. Landscape Professionals have put this tree in short supply, so we do recommend that you order while supplies are available.
*Trees are shipped bare root

This tree arrived in great condition. Due to the hurricanes, and the loss of 25 trees on my property, my Autumn Blaze maple tree is a welcomed sight. Even though I am in zone 9, I think this tree will make it. I will keep you all posted.

Maple tree arrived very healthy , left in shade for first two days. I planted it on the third day it grew almost a foot in the first week. We did have alot of rain that month. I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANY TREE GROW LIKE THAT IN THE FIRST WEEK AFTER BEING TRANSPLANTED.

The Autumn Blaze tree I bought last fall was received in good condition. I
planted it according to directions and it survived the Maine winter. This
spring it came alive and started to produce new branches. At this time it
appears to have a succesfull planting.

A great tree! We planted the Autumn Blaze mapl tree on our new construction lot. We were worried because of the condition of the soil after construction. However, the maple tree is doing great. It bloomed last spring and turned red this fall.

We planted our Autumn Blaze Maple tree at the end of last summer. In the sping of this year my daughter got a new puppy. The puppy decided to chew the tree in half about 12 inches from the ground. There was nothing left but the main trunk of the tree. I thought the tree was a goner. We planted a different tree in that spot, but decided to keep this tree in the container from the other one.
Surprisingly enough the Autumn Blaze Red Maple sprouted 2 new branches that grew all summer long. At the end of the summer the brances had grown about a foot. This fall the leaves turned a beautiful bright red. This is one hardy tree....

I planted my Autumn Blaze in 1 year ago in the late Fall. The tree is now over 6ft tall and has the bright red leaves as seen in the pictures. This tree is a replacement to a Poplar that fell in a storm in the back yard. The wife likes the colors and wants another for the front yard. I simply dug a hole, put the fertilizer pill in per the directions and planted the tree. No special treatement other than that. The tree has held up well to the Wisconsin winter.

This tree went from 2 ft. to 7 ft. in one season. For a maple, that seemed extraordinary for me. The leaves in spring and summer are a nice green and the fall foliage was striking. Thanks for a great product.

This is an interesting Maple tree, not like any others that I have planted. Nice looking and full of leaves. It is only 4' tall now and it looks almost full grown. I can't wait to see this tree mature.

Though the maple trees are less than a year old and are quite small, they have come along in a healthy manner. (We live on a farm with deer nearby so it was necessary to protect the trees within wire caging at this early stage from the nibblings of the four-legged population.) If the Autumn Blaze Maple trees grow as advertised, even three more feet next year should make for a more signficant display of their coloration. Plan on ordering more once we determine their placement.

I bought two of these autumn blazes and put them on the parkway in front of my home. They are growing great and, although small, got the true autumn blaze look this fall. I have purchased several trees from FGT and been satisfied with them all. I am a repeat customer.

My neighbors and I planted three Autumn Blaze Maple trees - we call them the triplets - on an inner city street in Boston (the City would not) and they have been incredibly successful. They have grown at least the three feet in height as hoped, they have survived abuse via parked cars, inconsiderate pedestrians, snow, and (other than rainfall) errratic watering. While two are significantly bigger than the remaining one, they are all hardy and are doing well.

Only got about 15" of growth this year. May be due to deer chewing on it in early spring before I fenced in the sapling.

We are so pleased with this tree! We planted this tree for our new born and have since watched them grow together. It's planted on the corner of our property near the street in full sun and the colors are spectacular! Last fall the colors were a nice bronze red and this year they were a brilliant red. We can't wait to see what next fall will bring.
