  • Organic Silver Maple Seeds (Acer saccharinum)

    Silver maple (Acer saccharinum) is widespread in the east of North America and Canada, where it is a symbol of the country and is depicted on the attributes of power. It is difficult not to admire the spreading crown of the silver maple, the incredible chestnut color of its branches and the bizarre leaf pattern.

    Plant features
    Silver maple is included in the list of 500 outstanding plants of Ukraine, which are botanical natural monuments. In Kiev, on Pobedy Avenue, two relics grow - two silver maples, which are more than 150 years old. Until now, they bloom in the spring and are covered with young leaves.

    Silver maple is a deciduous tree that grows up to 30-35 meters in height. At a young age, the growth rate is quite high - 1 meter per year. The growth rate of a tree at 10 years of age is halved.

    The crown of the maple is lush, rounded. The dense crown, letting in the rays of the sun, seems delicate. The branches on the mighty short trunk first point downward and then confidently rise upward. Strong branches are honey-brown.

    Ash-colored seedling bark is smooth, pleasant to the touch. With age, it becomes dark gray-brown and covered with patterned scales.

    The five-lobed carved leaves of the silver maple on the upper side are painted in the color of forest moss, and on the lower side they are silvery white. Maple flowers appear in early spring, long before the leaves emerge from the reddish-brown buds.

    In the fall, the tree changes its green garment to a bright golden yellow. Decorated with light transparent lionfish fruits.
     
    Features of plant care
    Silver maple is a fast-growing plant, winter-hardy and perfectly adapting to the unfavorable environmental conditions of the city. That is why maples are often planted:
    • as a forest protection strip along the sides of highways and railway lines;
    • on the territories of industrial enterprises;
    • in park areas of large cities.

    The root system of Acer saccharinum is superficial, allowing it to grow comfortably in waterlogged and even swampy areas. Maple, the leaves of which cast silver in the wind, looks harmonious and feels great on the shores of natural and artificial reservoirs.

    Silver maple when planted on fertile soils is shade-tolerant. But it is preferable to choose a sunny area for it, closed from strong winds.
