‘Fairview Flame’ turns a beautiful deep red in autumn. It is a fairly vigorously growing tree with a regular, pyramidal crown that droops somewhat and becomes rounder when mature. The summer leaf is a shiny dark green with a slight red tint. Highly suitable as a street and park tree. Also fine for use along driveways. Its growth will stagnate on calcareous soil. In such soil, as with very dry soil, the autumn change of color will be less noticeable. Intolerant to salt spray.

MAINTENANCE NEEDS: Provide enriched, well-drained soil. Follow a regular watering schedule during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. Watering may be reduced once established. Apply a slow-release fertilizer before new growth begins in spring.

LANDSCAPE USES: Front Yard, Street Tree, Woodland Garden
