Planting & Care

Where to Plant

  • Sunlight: The Norway Maple thrives best in full sun, requiring at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily to maintain its dense canopy. While it can tolerate partial shade, the growth rate will slow and the crown may not develop its signature full, rounded shape.
  • Soil: This tree is highly adaptable but prefers well drained, moist soil. If you are dealing with heavy clay, mix in some organic compost at planting time to improve aeration, though this hardy species is well known for handling urban soils and compaction better than most.

Watering Requirements

During the first two years of establishment, water your Norway Maple deeply twice a week to ensure the root system anchors properly. Once mature, these trees are quite drought tolerant, but inconsistent moisture during extreme heat can lead to leaf scorch or premature late summer leaf drop. Think of regular watering as an insurance policy for the tree's vibrant green foliage and overall structural health.

Pruning Tips

Pruning should be done in late winter while the tree is still dormant to prevent excessive sap bleeding, which is common with maples. Focus on removing crossing branches or those with narrow crotch angles to strengthen the overall skeleton of the tree. This proactive maintenance is like an occasional haircut that prevents storm damage by ensuring a balanced, sturdy limb structure.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced, slow release fertilizer in early spring just as the buds begin to swell to support the season's new growth. Avoid using high nitrogen fertilizers late in the summer, as this can force tender new growth that won't have time to harden off before the first hard freeze. A well timed feeding once a year is usually all this vigorous grower needs to maintain its impressive stature.

If you've walked through the local park on a bright sunny summer day, there's a good chance the pathways and picnic tables have been under Norway Maple Trees (Acer platanoides). With strong branches and the classic Maple tree look, there are plenty of reasons to use a Norway in upcoming landscaping projects!

Native to Europe, the Norway Maple has made its way into the United States and become a staple. Early each spring, this tree blooms petite yellow flowers. The unique blooms give the tree a charming amount of character along with a lovely cream-colored tinge before the leaves even bud!

As the blooms come to an end, the tree is taken over by its luxurious deep green foliage that makes this symmetrical and outward branching crown a wonderfully shaped tree. As summer fades to fall, the leaves change into a remarkable yellow that adds a pop of color wherever it's planted. Have a drab fall garden? Not anymore with the Norway Maple!

Landscape Application:

Looking at this tree mid-summer, it is easy to imagine settling down and reading a book in the shade of the canopy for hours and hours. Cool your home and reduce bills during the summer with the careful placement of this tree to shade your home and outdoor living spaces! Set up a hammock or your backyard reading nook beneath the Norway Maples spreading limbs!

Norway's wide tolerance to many different soils and its large canopy of shade-giving leaves make Norway Maple perfect for big landscaping projects as well as street-side trees in urban areas. Plant a few along driveways for a tree line or by itself as a centerpiece to a yard with a picnic area underneath. Just give the Norway root system some wiggle room by planting yours at least 15 -20 feet away from pavement and your foundation.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Picking the perfect spot to plant this tree is easy! Norway appreciates full sun to partial shade along with a nice location with well-drained soil.
