Plants

Acer pseudoplatanus 'Tunpetti' [sold as Regal Petticoat™]

[Regal Petticoat Sycamore Maple]

This cultivar does well in urban conditions. It is highly salt tolerant and as the tree matures lower hanging branches can be removed allowing for a higher canopy that does not obstruct walkways.

Acer rubrum 'Autumn Flame'

[Autumn Flame Red Maple]

This cultivar is used for its stunning, bright red color in the fall. It is a good choice for a shade or street tree, since it can handle urban pollution. Place in wet areas for best fall color. The Autumn Flame Maple is a fruitless cultivar.

Acer rubrum 'Bowhall'

[Bowhall Red Maple]

This cultivar is a great choice for wet soil areas. Its less aggressive root system makes it a better choice for a street tree. The orange-red coloration brings interest in the fall.

Acer rubrum 'Fairview Flame'

[Fairview Flame Red Maple]

Tolerant of wet, poorly drained soils and also dry conditions. Moderately weak wooded. Does not tolerate heavy pollution.

Acer rubrum 'JFS-KW78' [sold as Armstrong Gold®]

[Armstrong Gold Maple]

Low maintenance maple that needs full sun to part shade. Best grown in moist, well drained, acidic soil with branches that are angled upwards.

Acer saccharum

[Sugar Maple]

Widely adapted to climate, but best in at least reasonably fertile soil. One of the best shade tree species over a wide area, but for best results select plants known for adaptability to the local region. Quite shade tolerant. Low maintenance in a good site. 50 gal. sap or more needed to make 1 gal. syrup. Not so drought-tolerant as silver maple, but reasonably so. Does poorly in compacted soils, and doesn't like salt spray.…

Acer saccharum 'Bonfire'

[Bonfire Sugar Maple]

Acer saccharum 'JFS-Caddo2' [sold as Flashfire™]

[Flashfire Sugar Maple]

Come fall the Flashfire® Sugar Maple turns bright red before the foliage drops. The season interest does not stop there, in spring and throughout summer the foliage is glossy and dark green.

Acer saccharum 'Legacy'

[Legacy Sugar Maple]

The Legacy Sugar Maple is one of the most used Sugar Maple cultivars. It is known for its attractive oval form and excellent scarlet-orange fall color. Legacy is tolerant to dense shade, leaf tatter, and mild drought and is a relatively long-lived tree.

Acer saccharum ssp. nigrum

[Black Maple]

The Black Maple is a close relative of the Sugar Maple. Typically, Black Maples tolerate and grow in wetter soils than the Sugar Maple, but they are equally shade tolerant. Black Maples do not tolerate salts and are therefore poor street trees. This species prefers deep, uncompacted soils.
