Acer saccharum WW45 Sugar Maple D0-
Acer saccharum WW45 Sugar Maple D0- (American Native) Sugar Maple, Mature plant size: 60x40ft., Green leaf, USDA Hardiness Zone 3, Michigan Bloom Month -, In Garden Bed D0 for 25.6 YEARS (Maybe). Planted in 1997.
Missouri Botanical Garden: Acer saccharum commonly known as sugar maple is a deciduous, Missouri native tree which will typically grow 40' to 80' tall (sometimes to 100') with a dense, rounded crown. This tree is a main component of the Eastern U.S. hardwood forest and is one of the trees which is most responsible for giving New England its reputation for spectacular fall color. Medium green leaves (3-6" wide with 3-5 lobes) turn yellow-orange in autumn, sometimes with considerable color variations. Fruit is the familiar two-winged samara. Sugar maples are long-lived trees which grow relatively slowly (somewhat faster in the first 35 years). Native Americans taught the early colonists how to tap these trees to make maple syrup which has now become a multi-billion dollar industry in the U.S. and Canada. Excellent shade tree. The sugar maple leaf is the national symbol of Canada.
Official state tree of New York. The sugar maple leaf is on the Canadian flag. Genus name of Acer is the Latin name for a maple tree. Saccharum is the genus name for sugarcane. Pea gravel mulch 5/2014. Three in front yard.
