Is this an Autumn Blaze Maple?

[cagespear]

Hello,

Please find attached the images of the supposedly Automn Blaze Maple Tree found in the nearby store. Unfortunately, the store has not done the tagging and they are not entirely sure if they are really Automn Blaze Maple.

Can you please take a look at these pictures and help me confirm? I want to buy and plant it ASAP

Thanks in advance..

It looks like one by the fan shape leaf, that reach up to 5 inches in length. It also has 3 to 5 lobes with serrated edges arranged at opposite positions. Thats a Autumn Blaze Maple for sure.
The problem with Autumn Blaze Maple is Iron chlorosis (the "plant equivalent" of anemia) is the result when a plant cannot take up enough iron from the soil. In alkaline (high pH), high-lime soils there may be plenty of iron but it in a form not usable by some plants. If you have alkaline soil you will have problems with this plant turning yellow. Good luck.

Thanks a ton for your response. I live in Chicago burbs and don't have alkaline soil issue. Will go for it...
