Add item to quote to see pricing

Acer saccharinum is a splendid addition to any landscape, best known by its common name, the Silver Maple. This impressive, fast-growing deciduous tree adds drama with its dimensions, rising to heights of 50-80 feet and showcasing a breathtaking silver-white hue to its bark. Its leaves are a dynamic treat to behold, with five distinct lobes, a vibrant green on top, and an alluring silver sheen on the bottom. The Silver Maple naturally captivates with a gentle sway in the wind, revealing this exciting color contrast. The Silver Maple also presents a seasonal show-stopper with small red flowers that bloom in early spring and later transforms its green foliage into a vibrant yellow in autumn. It's not just a pretty sight; this tree is notably hardy, tolerating a diverse range of soil types and environmental conditions, adapting with ease. It prefers full sun to partial shade and requires moderate water use. However, be mindful to allocate ample room for this grand beauty to flourish, as its root system is quite extensive. With its natural elegance and robust nature, the Silver Maple is a boldly beautiful choice for larger garden spaces and parks.
