Silver Maple (Acer saccharinum)
Silver Maple is a robust deciduous tree known for its fast growth and striking foliage. This variety features large, deeply lobed leaves with a silvery underside that shimmers in the breeze, adding a unique visual effect to the landscape. Ideal for garden borders, larger landscapes, or as a shade tree, it provides a dense canopy and a pleasing contrast with its bright green summer foliage and golden-yellow autumn colours. Thriving in full sun to partial shade, it prefers well-drained soil and benefits from regular watering to maintain its health and vigorous growth. Reaching a height of 15–20 m with a spread of 12–15 m, Silver Maple is a versatile and attractive addition to any garden.
