It’s hard not to love maple trees when you think of their crisp red, orange and yellow hues every fall. But face it: the helicopter seeds that fall along with their leaves are a pain to clean up.

What can you do when you love the tree but hate the hassle? Well, there are seedless maple trees without helicopter seeds. They’re the best of both worlds!

Find out what seedless maple tree is best for you below.

Maple Trees Without Helicopter Seeds by Zone

For best results, choose a maple within your plant hardiness zone. And while fall is the best time to plant maples, spring is a close second!

Seedless Maple Trees

Firefall maple (zones 3-7): A fast-growing, cherry-red maple that’s tolerant of colder climates
Celebration maple (zones 4-8): A fast-growing tree with bright yellow and orange fall leaves with a sturdy branching structure and can handle drought once established
Autumn fantasy maple (zones 4-9): A fast-growing, ruby-red, maple that’s drought-tolerant when established

Are Autumn Blaze Maple Trees Seedless?

Autumn blaze maples do produce helicopter seeds. However, there are many hybrid versions that are seedless – like the celebration and autumn fantasy maples above.

What About A Sienna Glen Maple Vs. An Autumn Blaze? Which Tree Is Better?

There are several seedless varieties of sienna glen and autumn blaze maples. But not all are. So, double-check again before buying.

Both trees have brilliant fall color, but there are a few differences between the sienna glen and autumn blaze maple. See which tree is better for you below.

Sienna glen maple trees show fall color slightly earlier than autumn blaze maples. Also, sienna glen has stronger wood with denser branches than the autumn blaze.
Autumn blaze maples are better if you want a quick addition to your landscape that’s easy to manage. They’re notoriously fast growers (up to 3 feet per year!) and are typically unaffected by pests or diseases.
