Norway Maple
Few species are more widely planted as
trouble free , urban street-trees; every major temperature city where the
climate allows , has Norway Maple in it's downtown cone. Norway Maple combine
the requisite size, strength, thriftiness, and ease of propagation to an
admirable degree. It also varies usefully, so we have have mushroom-shaped dwarfs,
coumma-sentris, ovals, purple-leaved freaks, and even cut leaved
varieties. No, it isn't as stirring in silhouetted beauty or as enchanting in
fall color as sugar maple, but it is a better choice for difficult sites.
The trunk is quite similar to that to that of Seattle's native big leaf maple.
