Description
Acer freemanii Jeffersred grows quickly into a dense, broad-oval shade tree. Deeply cut five-lobed leaves remain green through the growing season, then turn orange-red to scarlet-red before falling.
The upright branching habit suits a lawn, park, broad street, or rain garden where the crown has room to spread. Plant in full sun or partial shade in moist but well-drained soil.
Water deeply and regularly while the root system establishes, then maintain regular moisture and allow only occasional mild drought. Apply fertilizer before spring growth begins. Prune lightly in late summer or early autumn to remove damaged or crossing branches and train one central leader.
