Our Maple Tree

The Autumn Blaze Maple that we planted a couple months ago seems to be doing well and has developed a great reddish color for fall. Decided to take a couple pictures before the rain and/or snow takes it all off. The pictures don't do it justice, as it looks very bright when the sun is hitting it.



Now only if it could magically grow 10 more feet we'd be happy. I think it will grow anywhere from 1' - 2' per year.
