Acer Rubrum Autumn Blaze®

Common Name: Autumn Flame Maple

Acer rubrum ‘Autumn Flame’ is a popular red maple cultivar known for its early, intense fall color and reliable landscape performance. Spring brings small red flowers, followed by medium green foliage that forms a dense summer canopy. As temperatures cool, ‘Autumn Flame’ is among the first maples to color, turning brilliant orange-red to scarlet, often weeks earlier than other shade trees. The habit is upright to broadly oval, developing into a well-shaped medium to large shade tree. This cultivar adapts well to a wide range of soils, including moist sites, and tolerates urban conditions better than sugar maple. It performs best in full sun to partial shade.
