In the past this green leaf form was often used as a street or garden tree. It grows to 9m to form pretty deciduous shade tree however the mass of seeds produced has made them a major bushland invader. They are also used as an understock for other ornamental grafted maples. Silver and gold variegated forms also revert back to this green form and can bear seeds on the variegated branches.
HOW IT SPREADS
The best of the box elder maples. Grows to 9 m tall. With lovely bronze- burgundy growing tips that turn mid green in summer it is beautiful shade tree. Tolerates heat and drought and given good cultivation may grow beyond 10m in height. This variety is sterile, so the self seeding issue with the species is not concern.
Highly recommended small tree, an excellent choice for a landscape where a purpleleafed tree is desired A moderate grower to 5m high by 5m wide Masses of small, pink, 'pea'-like flowers in spring.
A fast growing tree to 12m tall will provide wonderful summer shade, large heart shaped leaves appear after the bell shaped white flowers. Highly recommended.
