Acer platanoides 'Columnare': 'Columnare' Norway Maple: ENH-190/ST031, 10/2003

Abstract

This cultivar of Norway Maple has a height of about 50 to 60 feet, but only spreads to about 15 or 20 feet. The upright crown fills with greenish-yellow flowers in the spring. Lateral branches are short and grow almost horizontally which is quite unusual for a columnar tree. Some suggest growing the tree with only one central trunk to avoid multiple-trunk crotches from splitting apart. Original publication date November 1993.
