Abstract
This cultivar of Norway Maple has a height of 40 to 50 feet but can grow taller when shaded on the sides. Branches droop toward the ground as the tree grows older forming an oval crown branching to the ground if unpruned. The rounded, flat-topped crown fills with greenish-yellow flowers in the spring, but these are largely overshadowed by the reddish, bronze foliage in the spring.
