Fast growing, average growth habit is 2-3’ per year reaching upwards to 40-50’ tall with an overall width reaching 30-40’ at maturity. The most recognizable tree in the fall, based on its undeniable brilliant red color that covers the entire form of the tree.

Carefully hybridized in 1933 by Oliver Freeman who crossed the fast-growing Silver Maple and the Red Maple, resulting in the best of both worlds, fast growing-sturdy and amazing fall coloring.
