Maple, Autumn Fest

Autumn Fest maple (Acer x freemanii 'Autumn Fest') is a deciduous tree that is commonly used as a shade tree and as an ornamental tree in landscapes. It is a hybrid of the red maple and the silver maple and can grow up to 40 to 50 feet (12 to 15 meters) tall and 25 to 35 feet (7.5 to 10.5 meters) wide.

The tree has an oval-rounded crown shape and produces small, red flowers in early spring that are not showy. Its foliage is a dark green color in the summer, turning to a range of colors in the fall, including bright orange, yellow, and red. The Autumn Fest maple has a smooth gray bark when young, which eventually develops some furrows and fissures as the tree matures.

Autumn Fest maple is known for its good branch structure, durability, and adaptability to different soil types and environmental conditions. It is also relatively tolerant of air pollution and other environmental stresses, making it a popular choice for urban areas.
