Quick Overview

Matador™ Maple is a First Editions® selection, making it a proven outstanding performer in Chicagoland landscapes. This beautiful tree offers dense shade and striking fall color. Strong branching protects the tree from long, cold Illinois winters. Deep green leaves transition to a robust deep red fall color.

Why it rocks:

Matador™ Maple takes charge in the fall! Deep green leaves transition to a rich and robust red color. Autumn leaves appear a bit later than other freemanii maple varieties, and its fall color holds longer overall. Matador™ Maple is a First Editions® selection, making it a proven outstanding performer in Chicagoland landscapes. Dense branching offers substantial shade, and its strong branching allows this tree to withstand long cold winters.

Where to put it:

If you want a head turner in the fall, plant Matador™ Maple! This tree will be the perfect showcase in your front yard come fall. This tree has an upright oval shape at full maturity. This feature lends itself to parkways, front yards, and other tight locations where a large beautiful shade tree is needed. Plant this tree at least 15 ft from buildings to allow room for mature growth.

What it needs:

Matador™ Maple tolerates slightly saturated soils. Please, follow our watering guidelines for the first few growing seasons until the root system is well-established.
