Acer platanoides 'Globosum': 'Globosum' Norway Maple

This cultivar of Norway Maple has a height and spread of 15 to 20 feet. The dense, compact, rounded crown fills with greenish-yellow flowers in the spring. Norway Maple's dense shade and shallow root system competes with lawn grasses, and the shallow roots can make mowing under the tree a little difficult, but this is less of a problem on this small cultivar.
