Description:
The Acer saccharinum, commonly known as the silver maple, is a fast-growing shade tree native to North America. It can reach up to 25 feet in height within 10 years and is known for its bright green leaves with silvery undersides. This tree is adaptable to both wet and dry soils and can live for up to 130 years. It provides dense shade and is beneficial for wildlife, offering seeds and shelter for birds. The silver maple can also be tapped for sap to produce maple syrup. Due to its extensive root system, it should be planted at least 50 feet away from structures.
