Field Notes

Description:

A medium to large tree with spreading branches forming a
variably rounded to informally spreading crown. A fast-growing
tree subject to iron and manganese chlorosis on high pH soils
which may cause dieback or eventual death. Often called soft
maple because the wood is the softest of the maples used for
lumber. The largest tree in North Dakota is 66 feet tall with a
canopy spread of 72 feet.

Habitat:

Region C
