FALL COLOR	AUTUMN BLAZE

Red Maple grows best in wet places and has no other particular soil preference. In alkaline soils it may  not grow well and may develop chlorosis.  It is well-suited as a residential and suburban areas street tree in northern and mid-south climates, but the bark is thin and easily damaged by mowers.  Irrigation is often needed to support street tree plantings in well-drained soil in the south.  Similar to silver maples, red maples roots can raise sidewalks but they have a less aggressive root system and so they can still be used as a street tree.  Surface roots beneath the canopy can make mowing difficult.  Branches often grow upright through the crown forming poor attachments to the trunk.  These should be removed in the nursery or after planting in the landscape to help prevent branch failure in older trees during storms.

Best fall color in the south can be had with the following cultivars: 'Autumn Blaze', 'Tilford', 'Bowhall', 'October Glory', and 'Autumn Flame'.
