Acer pensylvanicum

North America.

Moosewood is a small tree that grows loosely and in several trunks. It usually reaches a height of 6 - 9 m and is approx. 3 - 6 m wide. As a rule, it grows 20 - 25 cm per year.

The deciduous leaves of the Moosewoods are dark green, opposite, lobed. They are about 12 - 18 cm in size. Moosewood turns bright yellow in autumn.

Green-white, striped, smooth bark makes this plant an eye-catcher in any garden.

The light yellow flowers of Moosewood appear in clusters in May.

Acer pensylvanicum is a shallow-rooted plant and, depending on the soil, forms finely branched roots.

Preferred location in a sunny to shady position.

The Moosewood has good frost hardiness.

Acer pensylvanicum thrives on all acidic, humus-rich and sufficiently moist soils.

Solitary

Cut and saw wounds as well as broken branches should be treated with a wound dressing as soon as possible to prevent pathogens from entering the plant.

Container plants can be planted all year round, except when the soil is frozen and in summer heat (over 30°C).
