Autumn Blaze Maple Trees in Perth
If you're after one of the most spectacular autumn colour trees available in Perth, the Autumn Blaze Maple (Acer x freemanii 'Jeffersred') is hard to beat. With deeply lobed, rich green foliage that explodes into brilliant crimson red in late autumn, it's a tree that transforms a garden completely for the season.
 
A Maple That Earns Its Name
The Autumn Blaze Maple is a hybrid of the Silver Maple and Red Maple, combining the best qualities of both — fast growth, a strong oval to rounded shape, and exceptional autumn colour. It's one of the most sought-after deciduous trees for Perth gardens and streetscapes, valued for its reliability and the sheer intensity of its seasonal display.
 
At maturity it reaches 12 metres tall and 9 metres wide, making it a substantial but manageable tree for large residential gardens, street plantings, and parkland settings.

Growing Autumn Blaze Maple in Perth
The Autumn Blaze Maple performs well in Perth when planted in full sun with good soil preparation. It's more tolerant of a range of soil conditions than many maples, including moderately moist soils, which makes it well suited to a variety of Perth garden situations.
Water regularly and deeply while the tree is establishing — this is especially important through Perth's dry summers. Mulching around the base will help retain moisture and protect the root zone from WA's summer heat. Once established it's a hardy, low-maintenance tree that grows reliably year on year.
 
Best Suited To
This is a versatile tree that works beautifully across many Perth garden and landscape settings — as a bold feature tree in a large garden, lining a driveway or street, providing shade in a park, or creating a stunning avenue planting. Its naturally neat oval shape requires minimal pruning, making it one of the easier large deciduous trees to manage.
