Acer × freemanii 'Morgan', a deciduous maple, is a natural hybrid that boasts a rapid growth rate and a distinctive open pyramid shape.
The leaves are large, deeply dissected, and mid-green with a silvery underside, but come autumn, they transform into vibrant shades of uniform red before being shed.
Early spring brings forth clusters of tiny red flowers, followed by usually sterile, greenish-winged seeds. ‘Morgan’ is exceptionally colour dynamic, and as the tree ages, its grey bark takes on a slightly wrinkled texture, while the branchlets adopt a brick red hue.

Plant in a sheltered spot, away from cold winds. Dig in a hole twice the size the root ball, add well-rotted organic matter and stake when young. Do not allow to dry out while it is getting established.
Protect young trees from winter frost with a 10cm (4in) mulch of organic matter, taking care to leave space around the trunk of the tree.
No routine pruning is required, just remove any dead, damaged or crossing branches in late autumn or winter when they are fully dormant. Avoid pruning at any other time of the year as acers tend to 'bleed' sap if cut while they are actively growing.
