2005-<strong>2006</strong><br />
Acer rubrum ‘<strong>Frank</strong> Jr.’ P.A.F.<br />
Redpointe Maple<br />
Zone: 5<br />
Height: 45'<br />
Spread: 30'<br />
Shape: Broadly pyramidal<br />
Foliage: Dark green<br />
Fall <strong>Co</strong>lor: Bright red<br />
Brilliant red fall color plus upright, broadly pyramidal form make this<br />
<strong>Schmidt</strong> introduction a standout. The refined form and foliage of<br />
the best Acer rubrum cultivars combine with the faster growth rate<br />
normally found in Acer x freemanii. A straight and dominant central<br />
leader results in strong branch angles that make it easier to grow.<br />

A new Amur maple selected by Dr. Michael Dirr, this tree features<br />
bright green foliage that stays fresh and clean despite summer stress.<br />

A street tree Amelanchier! This <strong>Schmidt</strong> introduction has exceptional<br />
tree form. A dominant central leader supports strongly upwardoriented<br />
scaffold branches. Pure white blooms smother a delicate<br />
latticework of twigs in spring. These give way to healthy green foliage<br />
that turns orange in the fall.<br />
