Spring Garden Tips

Maple

Are there seedless Maple cultivars?
FreemanMaple205px.jpgAutumn Blaze Freeman maple is listed as seedless by several experts though I have had gardeners report some seeds forming on older plants.  This maple has a broad oval crown and orange-red fall color.  Celebration is a male clone (means there should be no seeds) of Freeman maple with an upright oval form.  This cultivar has a yellowish fall color. 'Indian Summer' (also sold as 'Morgan') develops a good bright rosy red fall color fairly early in the season.  It grows vigorously and develops an oval to rounded crown with no seeds.  Autumn Spire red maple is a University of Minnesota introduction and suited to both cold climates and acid soils.  McKay's Seedless silver maple is a possibility for gardeners looking for a fast growing maple.  Provide proper pruning throughout the life of silver maples to extend their longevity and beauty.
