Freeman’s Maple

Acer x freemanii ‘Celebration’

The selection has a contoured, upright, uniform branching structure with a good central leader and rarely requires pruning to maintain its naturally symmetrical form. It’s known for being disease resistant, tolerant of urban pollution and has attractive autumn foliage (red fall color turns to gold), but best of all, it’s seedless! Performs well in full sun or part shade.
