Box Elder Maple

The Box Elder Maple (Acer negundo), also known as the Manitoba Maple, is a fast-growing, hardy deciduous tree native to North America. It features compound leaves with 3 to 7 leaflets, giving it a unique appearance among maples. This adaptable tree thrives in a wide range of soil types and conditions, including floodplains and dry areas, making it a popular choice for erosion control and windbreaks. While its yellow-green fall foliage is less vibrant than other maples, the Box Elder is valued for its rapid growth and ability to establish in challenging environments. It’s a versatile, low-maintenance option for naturalized landscapes.
