Common Name: Northwood Maple
Northwood Maple has a round oval crown with dark green glossy foliage that turns bright, orange red in the fall. An excellent native cultivar. This cultivar is best grown in northern states because it needs cool weather and frost for best fall color, and will generally not produce good fall color in the deep south. Like other native cultivar maples, Northwood is an excellent urban tree, however, it is shallow-rooted and may buckle sidewalks. Drought tolerant once they are established.
