Experience the beauty and practicality of the Acer x freemanii - the Freeman's Maple. These seeds are collected from different cultivars (such as Autumn Blaze, Armstrong, Celebration, Morgan and Sienna Glen). There is no guarantee the seeds will produce trees exactly like the mother tree they are collected from. This hybrid plant combines the best of both the red and silver maples, fostering a unique blend of qualities that make it a popular choice for landscaping. Fast-growing yet hardy, the Freeman's Maple exhibits not only aesthetic attractiveness but also a robust tolerance to adverse climates and soil conditions. Originating from the cross-pollination of A. rubrum and A. saccharinum, the Freeman's Maple boasts an incredible autumnal display. The leaves turn a brilliant red, emulating the fiery intensity of its Red Maple ancestor. At the same time, it inherits the Silver Maple's rapid growth and resilience, making it a practical addition to any park or spacious garden. It's more than just a hybrid – it's an upgraded and spectacular fusion, thoughtfully coupling the silver maple's growth efficiency and the red maple's hardy wood and less invasive roots. Make the Acer x freemanii part of your home or public landscape and experience the best of both worlds in one enduringly handsome tree.
