Norway Maple - Acer Platanoides
This article describes the origins of the Norway maple and its effects on the forest and urban landscape.
Arriving in the U.S. around 1756, the Norway maple became popular over the years due to its positive characteristics. These included fast establishment, canopy density, and pest resistance. Today, the species is considered invasive in many areas of the country because of some of these traits. The article discusses the issues with controlling the spread of the Norway maple by mentioning various cultivars and possible sterile trees for urban sale. The final pages of the article contain pictures to assist in identification and comparison to the native sugar maple.
