Acer platanoides – Norway maple

View prices and availability
A sturdy sycamore of large proportions. Forms a thick crown with widely spaced branches. The buds are reddish-violet, a major difference with A. pseudoplatanus that has green buds. The large opposed leaf has a roughly serrated edge. The leaf stalk contains milky sap, a further major difference with A. pseudoplatanus. In the autumn the leaves turn colour to a sometimes remarkable golden yellow. The greenish-yellow flowers appear before the leaf growth. The wings of the nut-like fruit form an obtuse angle: in A. pseudoplatanus this is a right angle or an acute angle. Strong root system with many fine roots. Competes with any type of undergrowth. Does not grow well in places with stagnant water or in peaty ground. Does not stand up well to hard surfaces. A very strong tree that can be used anywhere.
Our trees can only be planted when they don't have any leaves. Due to the this we will start delivering again from November 2025.
