Historically, this slow-growing tree has been used to create large hedgerows along the roadways in its native Europe. In early spring, small clusters of bright yellow-green flowers appear and develop into pretty dangling groups of samaras, or winged seeds to turn from light green to tan with a slight pink blush. The gently lobed, dark green leaves often turn an attractive golden yellow in autumn. These change to brown and often persist on the stem into winter. An excellent tolerance to a wide variety of soils adds to the popularity of this tough maple. It grows best in full sun but can tolerate part and is an unsurpassed shade tree for difficult planting areas with poor soils.
