Sorry, I didn't realise you'd commented - missed it altogether, didn't know it had been added into the question either, just happened to notice editor's comment above. Some Acer flowers actually change between male, female and hermaphrodite (and possibly back again) over time, but there's certainly no need to worry whether you have a male or female tree for either reproductive or appearance purposes.Īcer rubrum is considered to be divided between male and female trees, but the flowers are either unisexual or bisexual on both, so for reproductive purposes, its not an issue - more reading about that here if you're curious Generally, Acers are capable of fertilizing their own flowers without any other Acer tree nearby, if its lots of fertile seeds you're looking for. French names: Érable de Norvège Family: Soapberry Family (Sapindaceae), (Maple Family (Aceraceae)) Group: Maples Distinctive features: Tree Leaf petioles have milky sap. Once you’ve removed all of the Norway Maples, check back frequently to make sure seedlings have not started growing from seeds stored in the ground.No, one tree on its own is fine. This is one of the reasons why controlling its spread is so difficult. Larger trees will need to be cut down with a large saw or chainsaw. Despite its classification as an invasive species, the Norway maple is still widely available for sale as a shade tree in many gardening centres. The two species can be differentiated by the petiole sap, which is white in Norway maple and clear is sugar maples. As long as you get the main part of the stump out of the ground, it should not be able to grow back. Small to mid-sized trees can be dug out or you can use a weed wrench to pry them out of the ground. Seedlings should be pretty easy to pull but since there can be so many, it may take a little time. To get rid of this invasive plant, it may take a little work. In this way, trees like the Norway maple not only help honeybees overcome the hardships of winter, but kickstart their production of honey later in the year. The early blossoms provide enough food for the insects to survive until fruit trees flower later in the year. Leaves 5-lobed, turning bright yellow, orange or brown in autumn. In Eastern Canada and a handful of US states, the Norway maple threatens the sugar maple and the maple syrup industry it supports.

Despite its classification as an invasive species, the Norway maple is still widely available for sale as a shade tree in many gardening centres. Native seedlings will not be able to grow, and the understory becomes a dense layer of Norway Maple.Īfter the Norway Maples become mature, other plants still have difficulty growing due to the heavy shade Norway Maple creates as well as the shallow, dense root system. The seedlings will quickly grow and due to its large leaves, Norway Maple will shade out the understory level in a woodland or forest. Seeds germinate very easily and small seedlings can tolerate even heavy shade.
First, its seeds fly everywhere because of their physical structure and can travel for very long distances. Smooth or slightly ridged pale brown-grey bark. The Norway maple is a fast-growing deciduous tree that commonly grows to 40-50 feet in height, but may grow as tall as 100 feet. While these trees have demonstrated invasive traits, there is insufficient. Large leaves with 5-7 pointed, few-toothed lobes. Norway maples have invasive traits that enable them to spread aggressively. Unfortunately Norway Maple is widely overplanted and is invasive in the United States. Clusters of yellowish-green flowers appearing before the leaves.
