Silver Maple Seedlings - 10 Pack
The Silver Maple Tree usually grows between 50-and-80-feet tall. While the gray bark on the relatively short trunk is smooth when the tree is young, it develops scaly ridges as the tree matures, which adds interest to many landscapes. This tree prefers deep moist acidic soil. Plan for it to grow up to 80-feet tall and spread to be about 50-feet wide. The tree will grow about 24 inches taller each year until it reaches its full maturity.
Silver Maple Seedlings Attractive Appearance
Male and female flowers emerge on this tree before the leaves appear in the spring. These yellow flowers that are about 0.5-inches in diameter appear from red buds. The flowers appear on small lateral branches at the end of the previous season’s growth. The flowers on each tree are typically all male or female.
After the flowers fade in about 10 days, then winged fruit appear that are about the same size of the flowers. The winged fruit remain on the tree for about three weeks.
The leaves on this tree are dull green on the top and a silver color underneath. They appear on either side of upturned stems and can be up to 6-inches long. They have five lobes with deep-veined sinuses. The leaves turn light gold in the fall.
While this tree would prefer to live in well-drained soil, it will tolerate periods of extended flooding when necessary.
