This is a large, fast-growing tree that grows in a very round form. Foliage is dark green and changes to a brown to bright red in the fall. This tree closely resembles the Sugar Maple but is more durable.
Foliage is light green changing to an apricot-orange in the fall.
This tree also sets a white flower in the spring. This tree is also seedless. The Forestry Division of the Parks and Recreation Department stockpiles wood chips and firewood from its tree pruning and removal operations. Proceeds go to fund the trees for Fremont programs. Each winter, the Parks and Recreation Department, in cooperation with Keep Fremont Beautiful and area businesses, operates 7 Christmas tree recycling sites throughout the city.
