THE Silver
Maple
About the Silver Maple :
The Silver Maple tree, Acer Saccharinum, is a
medium to large fast growing tree. The species is
ideal for wet bottomland sites and can easily
recover from extended periods of flooding. It is one
of the best trees for poor soil and it transplants
very easily. The wood of this maple tree is soft and
can be damaged by severe winds or ice storms. Along
with its fast growth, it may live 130 years or more.
The Silver Maple is often used in residential
areas for shade because of its thick foliage and
fast growth. Its leaves are deeply cut and silvery
white underneath. They appear as light green and
turn to yellow in the fall. This deciduous maple
tree provides very dense shade. Fall color is a
golden yellow. |
