It's easy to go green with this outstanding cultivar of our beloved Sugar Maple. Whether it's used in big numbers in the landscape for its consistent oval symmetry, rapid rate of growth and easy sustainability, or as a specimen showing off its graceful, high-branched form dressed with pearly-gray bark it is truly memorable tree. Luxurious deep green foliage rests on dense branching, providing abundant cool shade in summer, and an exciting scarlet and gold show in the fall. This splendid beauty is heat and drought resistant when roots are allowed to stretch, so keep this one away from sidewalks and structures and enjoy the shade.
