Acer x freemanii 'First Editions Matador' (Maple)
Discovered in 1997 at our container tree farm by one of our employees, Kevin Johnston. This cultivar was selected because of its superior habit and fall color. Matador has a deeper red fall color than Autumn Blaze and colors more consistently than Sienna Glen. Adaptable tree with an upright, symmetrical form. Gains its fall color a bit later than other cultivars and holds its leaves longer. Excellent choice for lawn, street or park.
