Large, stately growing tree with an undulating crown due to its slightly hanging branches. Growing to an above-average height with open branching. In its original habitat in North America there are specimen of 35 m. The leaf is deeply lobed and is 5-lobed to 5-foliate. The colour is green with a grey white underside. The leaf stalk is red. In autumn the leaf usually turns yellow. Some leaves often turn orange to red creating a decorative effect. The flowers emerge before the leaves unfurl. It has a shallow root system with strongly branching roots and many fibrous rootlets. The main roots may push up hard surfaces. Is tolerant to moist soil and therefore multi-functional. Often applied as a street tree, but, due to branches breaking easily, caused by wind, it is now increasingly applied as a park tree. Acer saccharinum grows in its natural habitat close to rivers and marshes. But the tree can also grow on drier sites.
Our trees can only be planted when they don't have any leaves. Due to the this we will start delivering again from November 2024.
Acer saccharinum can eventually reach a height of 20 - 25 (35) m, fast growing, depending on the site and climate conditions.

The leaves of Acer saccharinum turn yellow in autumn.
The right time to plant Acer saccharinum is during the dormancy period. In Western Europe, Acer saccharinum with root balls can generally be planted from mid-November to late April, although this depends strongly on the climatic conditions and the species of tree.
