Product Image
With its vigorous growth and striking appearance, 'Autumn Blaze' stands out among maple trees with its dense oval head with deeply cut foliage. Throughout the seasons, this remarkable acer displays a delightful transformation, starting with attractive yellow-green spring foliage, transitioning to lush green in summer, and finally exploding into a vibrant mix of red, orange, and yellow hues in the autumn. Complemented by its silvery-grey bark, this natural hybrid effortlessly combines the resilience of Acer saccharinum with the beauty and vivacity of Acer rubrum, making it well-suited for the British climate.
