Maple - Silver

$8.75
sold out

(2-3’ bareroot) Acer saccharinum - Also known as the river maple, the silver maple is named for the silvery undersides of its leaves. It is fast-growing, typically reaches 50-100 feet in height, with a spreading, rounded crown and shallow, fibrous roots that facilitate easy transplantation. It thrives in medium soil conditions and prefers full sun to partial shade. While its fall color is not particularly striking, the sap is sweet and can be used to make syrup. It makes an excellent shade tree and the tree’s seeds are consumed by many mammals and birds. Squirrels particularly rely on the large, rounded buds as a major food source in spring. The seeds are the largest of any native maple, and the tree also provides nesting sites for ducks and other birds. Beavers find the tree’s bark tasty, and it is browsed by deer and rabbits.
