This red maple hybrid (cross between red and silver maple) is a deciduous tree which will typically grow 40-60' (sometimes 70') tall with a very narrow, fastigiate (branches erect) form. Leaves resemble those of its silver maple parent and are 3-6\ across. Bark is distinctively silvery. Fall color can be good in some years under optimum environmental conditions, but more often than not is an inferior yellowish orange."
