Latin Name: Acer rubrum ‘Frank Jr.’
Zone: 5
Mature Height: 45 feet
Spread: 30 feet
Shape: Broadly pyramidal
Foliage: Dark green
Fall Color: Bright red
Description: Brilliant red fall color plus upright, broadly pyramidal form make this Schmidt introduction a standout. The refined form and foliage of the best Acer rubrum cultivars combine with the faster growth rate normally found in Acer × freemanii. A straight and dominant central leader results in strong branch angles that make it easier to grow.
