Acer platanoides 'Autumn Blaze' – Acer platanoides 'Autumn Blaze'

View prices and availability
Vigorously growing, large tree with a straight central leader and a regular, ovoid crown, up to 20 m in height. The young leaf is bright yellow to greenish-yellow. Later in summer it turns yellow-green. Very striking, especially in spring, but in summer, too, the brightly coloured young shoots give the tree a fresh appearance. In autumn the leaf turns yellow to orange. Not to be confused with Acer ×freemanii Autumn Blaze (‘Jeffersred’), which is a completely different tree. Highly suitable for narrower avenues and streets, and on squares. Grows on any soil, but does not tolerate stagnating groundwater and peaty soils.
Our trees can only be planted when they don't have any leaves. Due to the this we will start delivering again from November 2025.
