Freeman maple is a tough hybrid that combines the best traits of red maple ( A. rubrum ) and silver maple ( A. saccharinum ), arising naturally across eastern North America where the two species overlap. The tree’s name honors Oliver M. Freeman, who helped bring this hybrid into cultivation at the U.S. National Arboretum in 1933. With a rapid growth rate of 2 to 5 feet per year, they quickly form an attractive, rounded canopy. Hardy, adaptable, and visually appealing, this hybrid is a popular choice for parks, streetscapes, and landscapes where reliable shade and durability are desired.
