Abstract
This cultivar of Norway Maple has a height of 40 to 50 feet and a spread of about 30 feet making it narrower than the species. Branches on young and medium-aged trees are more upright, reducing the pruning requirement when planted close to buildings or other structures compared to the species. The upright, oval crown fills with greenish-yellow flowers in the spring.
