Maple Tree |
| The
Norway maple tree is a deciduous, broadleaf maple tree. They
will grow to a height of forty to fifty feet, and can have an
equal mature spread. The summer foliage is dark green and turns
yellow in the fall. The Norway maple tree works great as a shade
tree, specimen plant or street tree. They will tolerate air
pollution and salt. Norway maple trees will also tolerate hot
and dry conditions much better than the sugar maple. |
Norway
maple trees are native to Europe, but have been widely planted
throughout the eastern United States. A Norway maple tree
can be pruned into an upright shape, or have a more spread
out crown. Norway maple trees are able to reach heights of
up to ninety feet if given enough room and the proper growing
conditions.
The leaves
of a Norway maple tree are dark green and simple. The five
lobes of the leaf have very sharp points, and average about
four and a half inches across. The flowers are small yellowish
green and appear in the early spring in clusters. The shallow
roots of the Norway maple tree make it difficult for other
plants to grow near its base.

| The
Norway maple tree is hardy to zones three through seven, and
has a medium course texture. The tree prefers full sun, but
will allow partial shade. A wide range of soil condition will
work for a Norway maple tree, including sand and clay. The
Norway maple tree is very susceptible to Verticillium wilt,
anthracnose, and some leaf scratch.
