Acer platanoides, commonly known as the Norway maple, is a species of maple native to eastern and central Europe and western Asia, from Spain east to Russia, north to southern Scandinavia and southeast to northern Iran.

Norway maple is a deciduous shade tree in the maple family (Sapindaceae) native to northeastern Europe. It was introduced to North America in the 1700s as a shade tree. It is very cold hardy and can be found growing in Alaska. The tree grows 40-50 feet tall or taller and has a similar spread with a rounded crown.

Described by Bean (1976, p. 223) as ‘one of the handsomest, hardiest, and most vigorous of introduced trees’, Acer platanoides has unsurprisingly also become one of the most planted trees, particularly in urban settings, but is at its finest when allowed plenty of space in parkland.

Acer platanoides, commonly called Norway maple, is native to Europe. It has been widely planted in urban areas throughout much of the U.S. It is a medium-sized deciduous shade tree typically growing 40-50’ tall with a dense, symmetrical, rounded crown.

Noted for its spectacular fall color, Acer platanoides (Norway Maple) is a large, deciduous tree with a slender trunk and a dense, rounded crown. Its foliage of sharply pointed five-lobed leaves, 7 in. (17 cm) ranges from medium to dark green in summer, and changes to a brilliant palette of yellows, oranges, and browns in the fall.

Showy clusters of yellow or greenish-yellow flowers in early spring, before leaves open, each flower about 8 mm diam. Large fruit, glabrous, wings wide spreading. Sun. Easy to transplant. Adapted to extremes in soils (sand, clay, acid, calcareous). Withstands hot dry conditions better than sugar maple. Tolerates pollution.
