Norway Maple Cleveland

Acer platanoides Cleveland is a variety of Norway Maple that has been in cultivation since 1948. This medium-sized tree has large leaves that display the classic lobes of the Maple Genus, are dark green, and give a super autumn display of golden yellows.

Acer platanoides Cleveland has an upright crown shape when young, which broadens out to oval at maturity.  Like other Norway Maples, this is a tough variety, thriving on a wide range of soils and tolerating air pollution and drought. 

Arborists in the US consider this tree one of the most suitable cultivars for street tree planting throughout America. As a garden or parkland tree, this species is a useful selection for schemes that require the dense coverage of foliage offered by a Norway Maple without the pronounced spread that can be associated with the species and, indeed, other varieties of Acer platanoides.

Mature height: 7-12m
