Pick up Only due to Size.

The 'Drummondii' maple (Acer platanoides 'Drummondii'), also known as the Variegated Norway Maple, is a highly decorative shade tree prized for its striking two-toned foliage

Essential Characteristics 🌿

• Foliage: The main attraction is its beautiful variegated leaves—a bright green center surrounded by a creamy white or silvery-white margin 🤍💚. This creates a bold, bright contrast in the landscape.

• Form & Size: A medium-to-large deciduous shade tree with a dense, rounded, and symmetrical crown.

• Height: 30–40 ft (9–12 m).

• Spread: 20–30 ft (6–9 m).

• Blooms & Fruit: Clusters of small, ornamental yellowish-green flowers 🌼 appear in early spring before the leaves. These are followed by double-winged seeds (samaras).

• Fall Color: The leaves typically turn a modest yellow color in the autumn.

Growing Information 💧

• Sunlight: Prefers full sun ☀️ to partial shade. The variegation is brightest with good sunlight, but avoid harsh, intense sun which can sometimes scorch the white margins in very hot climates.

  
  

• Soil: Very adaptable to a wide range of soils (including clay and alkaline conditions) but prefers moist, well-drained soil. Tolerant of drought and urban pollution once established.

• Water: Requires regular watering, especially when young, to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

• Maintenance: Low-maintenance, aside from the necessary task of removing any all-green, non-variegated branches. Prune when fully dormant in late fall or winter to prevent sap 'bleeding'.
