Description
Acer platanoides, commonly known as Norway Maple, is a strong-growing deciduous tree with a rounded crown and large, palmate, deep-green leaves that transform into vibrant gold to orange hues in autumn, making it an excellent choice as an ornamental shade tree for larger gardens. However, its shallow root system has the potential to lift sidewalks and driveways. This species is tolerant of air pollution and is relatively easy to transplant. While it thrives in moist, well-drained soils, it can also adapt to drier conditions with occasional drought and wetter areas experiencing sporadic flooding. Overall, Acer platanoides is an attractive option for larger landscapes, provided its potential impact on hard surfaces is taken into account.
