Maple Collection
Maple is another world-wide genus with many species.  Among those that grow native to Minnesota are our best trees for fall color, sugar maple (Acer sacharum), red maple (Acer rubrum) and their cultivars.  Three Arboretum introductions, Northwoods Red Maple (A. rubrum ‘Northwoods'), Autumn Spire red maple (A. rubrum ‘Autumn Spire') and Firefall^TM Freeman maple are excellent shade trees and street trees.  They all have good form and good fall color.
