Acer platanoides, Norway Maple, is a robust and versatile deciduous tree well-regarded for its adaptability and vibrant seasonal colour. This tree features broad, green leaves that provide dense shade in the summer months. In autumn, these leaves turn a striking yellow or sometimes a vivid red, depending on the specific cultivar, offering a beautiful contrast to the often greyer days.
Ideal for urban environments due to its tolerance to pollution and compacted soils, Acer platanoides thrives in a wide range of conditions but performs best in full sun to partial shade. It prefers well-drained, fertile soil and can handle a variety of soil types, including clay and alkaline. Its sturdy nature makes it suitable for street plantings, parks, and large gardens.
Norway Maple typically reaches a height of about 20 to 30 metres with a spread of around 15 to 20 metres. Its substantial size and expansive canopy make it a prominent feature in any landscape, perfect for providing ample shade and aesthetic appeal.
What is a bare-rooted tree?
Bare-rooted trees are deciduous trees that have been grown in the ground and are dug up when they've become dormant in the winter. The soil is shaken from their roots and they are bundled up with their roots packed in moist material to prevent dehydration during transport.
