The Celebration® Maple is a popular tree known for its fast growth rate and vibrant fall colors. It is a hybrid maple tree, a cross between the silver maple (Acer saccharinum) and the red maple (Acer rubrum) species.
The Celebration® Maple is valued for its ability to adapt to a wide range of soil conditions and its tolerance to urban environments. It has a symmetrical, oval-shaped crown and can reach a height of 40 to 50 feet (12 to 15 meters) with a spread of 25-35 feet.
One of the standout features of the Celebration® Maple is its stunning fall foliage. As the seasons change, the leaves transition from green to shades of orange, red, and yellow, creating a beautiful display of autumn colors.
