Characteristics:

Habit

Round-crown large tree 20-25 (30) m tall, 15-20 m wide; short stem or several stems with many equally large branches reaching upwards, usually funnel-shaped; lateral twigs loosely overhanging, down to the ground when free-standing; fast-growing maple, 80-120 cm the first 10-20 years, later 20-40 cm

Blossom

Brownish to reddish clusters, before leaves shoot in March

Leaves

Shoots bronze-green; leaves five-lobed, fresh green on top, whitish underneath, pale yellow in autumn

Fruits

Roots

Extreme shallow roots with far-reaching root close to the surface, lifts pavements if too crowded, thus leave 2-3 m, base should be open; easy to transplant and grows well even when large; tolerates floods

Demands

Full sun or light shade, frost hardy; good for urban areas; needs wind protection

Soil

Slightly acidic or neutral, fresh to moist, nutritious soil preferred, but very adaptable, thus also on poor and moderately dry substrates, yellow-green leaves when chalk is too plentiful

Tips

Never cut in late winter or spring as it has many flowers

Zone 4
