A tall narrow tree to 15m. Best in a fertile soil. Spring sap is processed into maple syrup. Orange autumn colour. Decidous. (GOOD FOR: DAMP, FOLIAGE, FOOD,SPECIMEN, SUN)
Our experience using these in the Auckland region:
While normally associated with cold climates, we have had pretty good success growing these here in Auckland, although so far our attempts at tapping them for maple syrup in the spring haven't been successful.
