Acer x freemanii 'Jeffersred'
Choose Autumn Blaze® Maple if you want a large shade tree fast with strong red fall color; the tradeoff is size, so give it open lawn room and keep it away from tight walks, patios, and wires.
Buy This If
- You want shade sooner.
- You have room for a full canopy.
- You want dependable red fall color.
Skip This If
- The planting area is narrow.
- Overhead wires are nearby.
- You want a slow-growing tree.
PGNE Report Card
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A | It brings strong fall color and broad shade, but it needs enough open space to look right. |
| Growth Rate | A | It grows quickly for a shade tree, which helps when the goal is canopy sooner. |
| Maintenance | B | Plan on watering during establishment and doing some early structural pruning. |
| Deer Resistance | C | Young trees like this can be browsed or rubbed by deer, so protect it while it establishes where pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | D | Its mature canopy and root space needs make it a poor fit for confined planting spots. |
| Screening Value | C | It provides seasonal shade, but it is not a dense privacy screen. |
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Autumn Blaze® Maple for open yards where quick shade matters more than tight, formal scale. Give it room early, because it will not stay small.

Customers Usually Ask
Is Autumn Blaze® Maple messy?
It drops leaves like any maple, but it is not grown mainly for seed production.
Can I plant it near the house?
Only if you can leave generous room for the mature canopy and roots.
Does it need pruning?
Yes, light structural pruning while young helps build a better long-term shape.
Why buy for fall color
- See the actual color before you buy it
- Foliage, berries and late bloom — all three seasons of interest
- Fall planting means roots established before winter
Locally grown for New England conditions
Every plant in our Fall Sale is grown or hardened off right here in New Hampshire, so it's already acclimated to New England winters before it ever leaves our nursery.
