50% of what I've read on them says seedless, 50% says near seedless.

SO, applying what I learned about catalogs and salesmen selling me hot-rod parts I always assumed the trees just got 50% fewer seeds than a run of the mill silver maple.

That said, I don't own one and I did learn them DOT slicks aren't as good as regular radials for real cars.

When first introduced (1982?) Autumn Blaze was advertised to be seedless, but we've known for a while now that it's not. Seed production does seem to vary from year to year (my observations this spring are that we're going to have a good year for seeds). I've grown Autumn Blaze seedlings and they were somewhat variable in form and fall color.

There are some red maples (Acer rubrum) that are seedless and have good red fall color - Sun Valley is one that does well here.

hi
i live in the mountains of Lebanon
can someone send me some autumn blaze maple seeds, i wanna plant some.. i've looked all over here and couldn't find

I have had an autumn blaze maple for 10 years. It was only 5 foot tall when I purchased it from the nursery. The first 8 years I did not get helicopter seeds from the tree. Last year I had a few. This year it was covered up in seeds. I actually have some sprouting in the ground below.

I really didn't have any of the first 10 years but this year it's covered... Very fast growing tree. Wish there was a way to get something in return because this was advertised as seedless and that's the only reason I planted it.
