Home Depot sells the same tree but a 5-6' will cost you $40. these will be planted in the backyard as I already have 4 of these planted along the street



for those who don't know about trees the Autumn Blaze Maples have one of the brightest red fall colors
As a certified nursery tech I can tell you that it's not a good thing their that tall. They don't have enough of a root ball to support winter hardiness. Also you'll need to heavily stake then due to the height and lack of weight. Always buy trees that are ball and burlap,
