MANITOBA MAPLE Acer negundo
• A fast‑growing, extremely hardy native maple forming a broad, irregular crown; often multi‑stemmed in naturalized areas but can be trained into a single‑stem tree.
• Compound, ash‑like leaves emerge early in spring and stay fresh through summer, turning yellow in fall; male and female flowers appear on separate plants, with early‑season blooms providing valuable nectar for pollinators.
• Produces clusters of paired samaras that mature to tan and may persist into winter, offering light wildlife value.
• Exceptionally tolerant of drought, clay soils, flooding, urban conditions, and general neglect; can sucker or self‑seed readily, especially in disturbed sites.
• Full Sun to Part Sun
• Zone 2, 8–12 m Height × 8–12 m Width
