Autumn Blaze Maple

Acer freemanii

Full Body

Leaves

  1. This tree is a genetic mix of the red and silver maple which makes it unable to produce offspring on its own

  2. The bark is extremely thin and delicate which makes it very susceptible to damage 

  3. The roots are very shallow and since this species is often planted in the city, it can lift sidewalks and pipes
