Celebration Maple Standard Trees

Acer x freemanii Celebration is fairly narrow and upright, suitable for most gardens and roadside planting. Its best feature is the autumn colour, which has been described as "shrieking scarlet". As well as a top notch autumn colour display, Celebration has little red flowers appearing in April, followed by vibrant green leaves in summer. They have a convenient habit of naturally maintaining a neat upright pyramid that does not require pruning to keep in shape. The branches are well-formed and not likely to break under pressure from strong wind or loads of snow, which makes them well suited for exposed positions. Celebration Maples are all male clones and so do not produce seeds, saving you the bother of having to deal with unwanted saplings each year. A medium-sized tree, reaching about 45 feet, 15 metres, with a canopy width of about 7 metres.

History & uses of Acer x freemanii Celebration

The Freeman maples, Acer x freemanii, are naturally occurring crosses between Red Maple and Silver Maple. They were first classified by Oliver Freeman in 1933 at the US National Arboretum in Washington DC. This tree's patented name is Acer x freemanii Celzam.

Notes on planting Celebration Maple trees:
They have no problem with pollution from cars or compacted urban soil. They are happy in any fertile soil and are suitable for damp ground that is prone to temporary waterlogging. They will grow on chalk, but we don't recommend them for this because it will affect their autumn colour. Suitable for partial shade.

Prepare your site before planting:
It is good to dig over the site where you plant a tree several months in advance. Kill the weeds first: for tough weeds like nettles, brambles and ground elder, you will usually need a glyphosate based weed-killer to get rid of them. When you dig the soil over, remove stones and other rubbish and mix in well rotted compost or manure down to the depth of about 2 spades.

Watch our video on how to plant a tree for full instructions.
Remember to water establishing trees during dry weather for at least a year after planting.

Tree Planting accessories:
Prepare your site for planting by killing the weeds and grass with Roundup weed killer.
You can buy a tree planting pack with a wooden stake & rubber tie to support the tree and a mulch mat with pegs to protect the soil around the base of your tree from weeds and drying out.
We suggest that you use mycorrhizal "friendly fungi" on the roots of all newly planted large trees: if your soil quality is poor, we strongly recommend it.
You can also improve your soil with bonemeal organic fertiliser and Growmore.

After you plant a tree, the most important thing to do is water it in dry weather. You will also need to weed around the plants. Watering should be thorough, so the ground is soaked. Let the soil almost dry out before watering again. Watering & weeding will be necessary for at least a year after planting.

If your trees do need pruning, it is best to do this in mid-summer, unlike most deciduous trees. Acer species will bleed sap quite heavily if they are pruned at other times of the year, which makes it harder for them to heal. Always hire a tree surgeon to remove large branches.

Special notes on caring for Celebration Maple trees:
Celebration Maple is a very tough tree that shouldn't need special attention once it has established.
Remember to check the stake and tie supporting your trees a few times a year. Tighten the tie if it becomes loose and loosen it as the tree grows. Make sure that the tree's trunk isn't rubbing against the stake.

Hygiene & Diseases:
Dead, damaged or diseased wood can be pruned off as soon as it appears.
Disinfect your pruning tools between every cut if there is any sign of disease.
Burn or dispose of any diseased material, do not compost it.

Because couriers sometimes experience delays, we schedule delivery by week, not by day. Therefore, please plan your planting day for the weekend at the end of the delivery week or for the week following delivery, at the earliest.
We will email you the day before your plants are due to arrive.

*Surcharges to the Highlands and Islands still apply.

Payment: We do not charge your card until we begin to prepare your order for packing.

Guarantee: If any plants die within a year, we will replace them. We only ask that you follow our planting & growing instructions and sent us clear photographs of the dead plants in situ, so we can help to make sure that the replacement plants succeed. You only pay for the delivery of the replacements.

Please note that our guarantee is void if there is a hosepipe ban in your area: your newly planted hedging must be watered in dry weather while it is establishing. The best way to water is very thoroughly every few days: at least once a week if there is no heavy rain.

Our nursery has been supplying container grown and bareroot hedging plants to gardeners, farmers and town planners since 1949. Our website started in 2003, so we do understand the concerns that you may have about buying hedging plants online. If any of your plants are damaged when they arrive or if you are otherwise not satisfied with your order after you inspect it, please repackage it and contact us. We will give you a refund or send replacements and send a courier to come and collect the unwanted plants.
