SugarShane Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Autumn Blaze Maple was created by a nurseryman that lived 60 miles north of Columbus so yeah, it does great in Ohio. However, it produces seeds so can be messy. I would recommend Brandywine Red Maple. It's a cross between October Glory and Autumn Flames so has the nice red fall color and it's SEEDLESS. Some other trees you might want to consider: Silver Linden: green leaves with silver white underside gives a "shimmering" effect when the wind blows, very fragrant flower in late june/july but the nector is toxic to bees Oaks are fine. Acorns will be an issue in a few years. Pin oak is a fast grower but it has a pyramidal shape so not very shadey. I prefer Shumardi. I was also going to suggest Sweetgum.... the seedless cultivar but I doubt you would be interested even in that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
