Selected because of its superior habit and fall color, Matador™ turns deeper red than Autumn Blaze® and colors more consistently than Sienna Glen®. An adaptable tree with an upright, symmetrical form. Gains its fall color a bit later than other cultivars and holds its leaves longer. Excellent choice for lawn, street or park. Discovered in 1997 at a Minnesota tree farm by Kevin Johnston of Bailey Nurseries, Inc.
