Fairview Norway Maple
Acer platanoides FairviewAbout this product
Acer platanoides Fairview is a tough newcomer to our Norway Maple range, derived from a seedling of ‘Crimson King’. Like the species, this tree has discrete yellow flowers that appear in spring and contrast fantastically with the deep red foliage as the leaves first emerge; they gradually harden to a bronze colour by late summer.
Acer platanoides Fairview is extremely useful as an urban tree. Not only is it highly tolerant of most soil conditions, air pollution, and drought, but unlike the species, it also has a very upright oval habit. It typically reaches a height of 15 m and spreads to about 12 m. Among the Norway Maples we stock, Fairview is the narrowest variety available.
This medium-sized tree is a tough performer. It is useful in bringing colour to a scheme in a measured amount without becoming too overpowering at maturity. It is also a lovely choice for avenue planting.
Mature height: 12-17m
