Hardy and fast-growing, Freeman’s maple is a great shade tree suited to medium and large urban yards. Small red flowers appear in early spring, providing emerging bees with a much-needed food source. Come fall, its forest green leaves turn brilliant red and orange. Freeman’s maple is a cross between a silver and red maple and supports almost 300 different caterpillar species.
