Understanding Plant Options
Nature Hills offers plants in two main formats:
- Container Plants: Grown in pots with soil, sized by container volume and plant age
- Bare Root Plants: Dormant plants without soil, sized by height measurements
Container Plant Sizes
Container sizes indicate plant age and growing capacity rather than liquid volume equivalents. Our containers follow industry-standard nursery "trade gallon" specifications, which differ from standard liquid gallon measurements.

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.
- Fantastic Green Foliage In Classic Maple-Leaf Shape
- Lush Yellow Fall Color
- Petite Yellow Flowers In Spring
- Three Seasons of Interest
- Perfect for Urban Areas, Great Shade Tree & Reduce Cooling Bill
#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. Provide new trees with regular water access, but once established, these supremely durable trees are heat, drought, and pollutant tolerant! Mulch over the root system supports your tree's health and keeps it stress-free. If needed, prune when dormant but after the sap runs in the spring.
- Full Sun
- Well-Drained Soil
- Moderate Moisture Needs - Drought Tolerant Once Established
- Prune Late Winter
- Heat & Pollution Tolerant
This extremely versatile tree is perfect for just about any gardening need. Not to mention three seasons of beautiful color! Don't wait, order one or more Norway Maple Trees today at NatureHills.com!
