Firefall Freeman Maple

(Acer x freemanii ‘AF#1’)

The Firefall™ Maple is a hybrid of red and silver maple that is specially adapted to cold northern climates. Its firey and luminous fall color is similar to that of the popular Autumn Blaze™ hybrid, but it has been bred to produce better structure and is more cold-hardy. It grows quickly and does not produce the “helicopter” seeds that other maples are known for.
