Silver Maple

Silver Maple

The Silver Maple (Acer saccharinum) is a fast-growing, deciduous tree known for its striking silver-gray undersides of its leaves, which create a shimmering effect in the wind. It typically grows 50-70 feet tall with a broad, spreading canopy, making it an excellent choice for providing shade. Its leaves are deeply lobed, and it produces small, reddish flowers in early spring. The Silver Maple thrives in moist, well-drained soils and is highly adaptable to a range of conditions. While it is valued for its rapid growth and striking appearance, its brittle wood can be susceptible to breakage in storms, so it is best suited for larger spaces.
