Quick Overview

Autumn Fantasy® Maple is a desirable hybrid of Silver and Red Maple. This reliable and fast-growing tree is known for its brilliant deep red leaves in the fall. It features sturdy branches that provide ample shade on hot summer days. With its broad, oval shape and consistent fall color, it makes a striking backdrop for any landscape.

Why it rocks:

Autumn Fantasy® Maple is a highly sought-after  Silver and Red Maple hybrid celebrated for its quick growth and dependability. This tree is especially renowned for its stunning fall foliage—a striking, deep red that beautifully contrasts with the silvery undersides of its leaves. With its broad, oval shape, Autumn Fantasy serves as a fantastic shade tree in the summer, creating a lovely outdoor area for relaxation. In winter, its bare branches add a sculptural touch to the landscape, particularly when dusted with snow. Plant this beautiful shade tree in your yard, and you’ll enjoy its seasonal brilliance and the many benefits it provides for years to come.

Where to put it:

Autumn Fantasy® Maple is a reliable choice for challenging urban environments, including city medians, parkways, and community parks. Its strong, upright branches and adaptability to different soil types make it an excellent option for these areas. Consider planting Autumn Fantasy® Maple in your front yard, backyard, or parkway to bring vibrant color during spring, summer, and fall. Ensure you space the tree at least 15 feet away from buildings to give it ample room to achieve its full mature spread.

What it needs:

Autumn Fantasy® Maple is one of the toughest and most adaptable shade trees. It is tolerant to various Chicagoland soils and site conditions, including dry sand and wet sites. It prefers full sun to partial shade and is less susceptible to chlorosis than the straight Silver and Red Maple. This exceptional variety is nearly seedless, making it a low-maintenance and tidy tree. For the first few growing seasons, please follow our tree care instructions to establish a strong root system.
