Acer ginnala ‘Flame’, FLAME AMUR MAPLE (15')

A new introduction by the U.S.D.A. with outstanding red fruits called ‘Samaras`. They rustle in the

cool breeze and are pleasantly attractive. This new clone also has a more brilliantly red fall foliage color

than its species parent. Fragrant flowers are very attractive through summer and fruits persist through

winter and are conspicuously attractive in midwinter. Culture: Prefers moist, clay loam soils. pH 6.0

to 7.5. Sun or partial shade. Zone 2.

THE NORWAY MAPLE

(Acer platanoides)

Eleven varieties of Norway Maples are now for sale at Wade & Gatton Nurseries,

as are so listed below:

Acer platanoides 'Cleveland'

Acer platanoides 'Columnar Compact'

Acer platanoides 'Crimson King'

Acer platanoides 'Deborah'

Acer platanoides 'Emerald Lustre'

Acer platanoides 'Emerald Queen'

Acer platanoides 'Jade Glen'

Acer platanoides 'Princeton Gold'

Acer platanoides 'Silver Variegated'

Acer platanoides 'Superform'

Norway Maples rank third in Maple tree plantings throughout Ohio and Midwestern

states. Acer rubrum (the Red Maple) cultivars rank first, Acer saccharum (the Sugar Maples)

cultivars rank second, and then third are the Acer platanoides, the Norway Maple hybrids,

clones and cultivars.

Important features of the Norway Maple are:

1). Abundant yellowish clusters of attractive, predominantly yellow flowers with a

slight green color in March. These bloom third of the three, Acer rubrum (reddish) are first,

followed one week later by the Acer saccharum (the Sugar Maples) with light yellow and then

the Acer platanoides (Norway Maples) with a deeper yellow color. Seeds seem to be produced

only one out of five years and are not a significant problem.

2). Drought Resistant: Norway Maples during dry summers in June, July or

August, tolerate dryness much longer and better than Acer rubrums or Acer saccharums.

3). Norway Maples have a very durable Fall yellow foliage color! They contrast

well with the mid-season Acer rubrum (red) and the mid-season Acer saccharum (orange

shades). So where you wish good fall color, be sure to add Norways in groups or as individual

specimens in either commercial home owner shade tree plantings.

Bellville, Ohio 44813 (419-883-3191) R-2016


4). Norway Maples transplant well, and adapt to most soil conditions, with one exception, they

must be planted into soils that are not water laden, swampy or soils with dense compact clay, that hold

water in the planting pockets. Acer rubrum and Acer saccharum tolerate the wetter soils better than the

Norway Maples, but on a range from wetter, more clay soils, Norways like it the least.

5). Our carefully chosen cultivars are the best of more than 80 or so worldwide selections

known.

6). Norway Maples are more resistant to verticillium wilt than either Sugars or Red Maples.

Our State of Ohio Nursery Inspector tell us they are resistant to the wilt!

7). Norway Maples grow slower than Acer rubrum or saccharum. Norway Maples generally

grow shorter, more dense and compact, with less pruning required to develop a nice looking specimen

tree.

8). Root systems are not significantly different than either Acer rubrum or saccharum. All

three are shallow rooted.

9). A very popular tree because it grows rapidly when young, is vigorous, strong wooded (it

is a hardwood, as are Sugar Maples).

10). Storm and Ice Damage Resistant: Norways have strong branches and limb crotches and

do not easily break in windstorms or ice storms. Being a hardwood makes them very desirable.

11). Our selection of Norways are very disease resistant. Over the past 30-40 years, we have

never had to spray our Norway Maples for any reason, for harmful pests or disease, nor has our State

of Ohio Nursery Inspectors found any harmful pathogens of any kind on them. They are simply a healthy,

vigorous tree and we recommend them whole hearted for home owners, commercial plantings, cities,

parks, anywhere!

12). Our experience growing Norway Maples goes back 40-50 years, and many of the Norway

Maples in the towns and villages in Central Ohio came from our Nursery. Today, our inventory of Norway

Maples are unexcelled anywhere in North Central United States.

13). All of our Norway Maples are growing in wide spaced field rows, 8' x 8', allowing 64 square

feet per tree. Large trees are growing on double spacing as we have dug out every other tree or row. Each

tree has been individually planted, assuring you of a well balanced root system (not set into place with

an automatic planter, which tend to set trees in place with a one sided root system).

Acer platanoides ‘Cleveland’, CLEVELAND NORWAY MAPLE (50')

A definite improved form with better foliage than the standard Norway Maples we have had

experience with so far. A dense, oval and upright top. Growth habit: Grows 30-40' tall by 25-30' wide

in 30 years. Grows taller than wide, normally dense and compact. Thin out occasionally on older trees.

An improved branching form. Foliage: Darkest green summer foliage of the green cultivars. Good

disease resistance, excellent yellow fall foliage color. Popularity: Very popular tree, relatively new,

discovered in 1947 in Cleveland and so named. Comments: One of our more popular Norway Maples,

probably in the top four. Certainly one of the better forms for street tree uses because they are shorter

growing, but not low enough for under utility wires. Norway Maples are very hardy. Zone 4, as we know

where they have tolerated -40 degrees F. below zero here in Central Ohio. Superior branch structure. pH

6.0 to 7.5.

Acer platanoides columnare ‘Compact’, COLUMNAR NORWAY MAPLE (40')

A compact, narrow growing tree. Very dark green leaves. Very hardy and durable. Useful for

narrow curb or lawn strips. This tree appears to tolerate city conditions better than most Maples. It is

hardier than regular Norway Maples. Grows more rapidly than other columnar shade trees and if topped,

spreads slightly and resembles Emerald Queen Norway Maples. We have noted that there are two

distinct forms currently sold in the trade. This form is very narrow and compact, while the other form now

called ‘Parkway` is broader. We grow both forms of Norway Maples. This compact form is the original

Columnar Norway Maple. This form is narrower than Emerald Queen. Culture: Prefers well drained

soils, and does not grow in waterlogged soils, as all Norways. pH 6.0 to 7.5. Zone 3.

Acer platanoides ‘Crimson King’,

CRIMSON KING NORWAY MAPLE (30')

Also known as ‘Acer platanoides schwedleri nigra`. Maroon leaf color throughout the Summer.Darkest red of all the Maples. The best dark red of all the Maples. A distinctive, colorful, captivatingtree developing a symmetrical, compact, rounded head that is magnificent all Summer long with its non-fading, deep, maroon-crimson foliage. Truly the reddest of all the Norway Maples of which it is adescendant. This Crimson King Norway Maple will live for generations, becoming more valuable andattractive each year. These trees are very hardy and easy to grow in all sections of the country, but shouldbe planted in full sunlight for the brightest red color. A superb tree for lawn specimens and street treeplantings. The glistening, satiny foliage will create a startling contrast to any home throughout the Spring,Summer and Fall. If you want a tree for any neighborhood to talk about, plant Crimson King, a real 25to 30’ beauty at maturity. Culture: Prefers good soil drainage. Will not tolerate deep planting. Zone4.

Acer platanoides ‘Deborah’, DEBORAH NORWAY MAPLE (40-60')

A new stunning and strikingly beautiful new cultivar. Discovered in 1967 among a group of

Norway Maple seedlings. It is an extremely vigorous grower having a straight central leader and a

shapely upright head and excellent branch formation. Very similar to Schwedler Norway Maple. New

unfolding foliage is brilliant red, maturing into vivid dark green. Leaves show a somewhat ruffled margin,

and more of a leathery texture than most Norway Maples. Culture: Prefer well drained soils and a pH

of 6.5 to 7.0. Zone 4.

Acer platanoides ‘Emerald Queen’, EMERALD QUEEN NORWAY MAPLE

(60' in 50 years)

A rapid grower. Very dark green and glossy leaves. Extremely attractive. Very straight trunk

with good branching qualities. A distinct new strain of Norway Maple with considerable merit. A little

more narrow growing than regular Norway Maple. Fall foliage color was first noted by this author in 1982

as superb. Color was and remained stable to date on all blocks of Emerald Queen. Color is orange-yellow,

and is close to Sugar Maple. Color is mid-season for Maples (mid to late September here in Richland

County) and holds well for about three weeks. If a popularity poll was made for Norway Maples, the

Emerald Queen would be #1! Culture: Must have good soil drainage, pH 6.5 to 7.0. Zone 3.

Acer platanoides ‘Jade Glen’, JADE GLEN NORWAY MAPLE (50')

An outstanding selection, certainly one of the best Norway Maples, where you wish a nice well

shaped tree. We have been growing this variety since 1968, and it has withstood the tests. Autumn foliage

is a distinctive golden yellow, that when the frosts hit just right the top and outer perimeter of the tree

colors up to an attractive orange. These trees are straight trunked with excellent, well balanced tops, and

symmetrically branched. Dark green late Summer foliage stands out well in September. Our experience

with Jade Glen show it has a slightly broader head than Emerald Queen, but not quite as broad as the

Cleveland Norway Maple. Jade Glen is a very uniform grower and exhibits a stately, broad oval, upright

form. Culture: Provide with good permeable, well drained soils. Will grow quite well in a stony or gravel

or shale soils. pH 6.5 to 7.0. Zone 3.

Acer platanoides ‘Superform’, SUPERFORM NORWAY MAPLE (50')

A new selection by Milton Nurseries in the early 1960’s. A rapid growing Norway Maple, noted for

its straightness of trunk, uniform even form, heavy dark green foliage. Tolerates dry growing conditions

well, as foliage color in August is excellent. Fall color is yellowish-gold, not exceptional, but good. Our

Experience: We have been growing it since 1962, and have grown and sold over 2,500 trees to date. It

has weathered the tests of time. This variety self branches, and readily forms a well branched top, broader

and fuller than either ‘Emerald Queen` or ‘Jade Glen`. Culture: Must have good soil drainage. pH 6.0

“THE RED MAPLES”(Acer rubrum)

Commonly called the Red Maples because of their predomi-nantly red fall foliage color, but misleading because summerfoliage is green.

This fine family of Maples is perhaps one of the most colorfulfamilies. Commencing in early Spring, in mid-March, here inCentral Ohio, small flower buds begin to appear in large quanti-ties. These small, individual flowers give the tree a reddishovercast, from a distance, which gives us the first wisp of Spring.These come into flower about a full week to ten days before theSugar Maples.

New leaves appear somewhat reddish on many varieties, butquickly turn throughout the summer.

Autumn frosts readily bring forth unexcelled brilliant hues oforange-reds, red-crimsons, and scarlet shades of leaf coloring.A few varieties turn yellow or golden-yellow.

Many shapes of trees are available in this family, but predomi-nantly they are mid-sized shade trees, suitable as street trees,residential trees used as a specimen tree in front, side or back-yards. Often used for commercial plantings around hospitals,parks, recreational areas and apartment complexes.

Acer rubrum and cultivars are fast growers and its woodshould be classed as a softwood tree, as opposed to the Oakfamily, where the wood is definitely a hardwood. Therefore, beinga softwood tree, its bark is somewhat sensitive and vandalizesreadily and care should be given not to damage the trunks of thetrees.

This shade tree prefers good drainage, but also requires a lotof summer moisture. New plantings require about five gallons ofwater per week per each one inch of trunk caliper, during dryperiods.

The special effort necessary to establish these nicely shapedshade trees are well worth the effort. It is not unusual for a nicemaple to increase the value of a residential property by $2,000.00to $3,000.00. Once established, red maples are long-lived, andbecome more beautiful year after year.

Acer rubrum ‘Clump’, CLUMP RED MAPLE (3 STEMS OR MORE) (60')

Varieties available: 'Autumn Flame'; 'Armstrong'; 'Red Sunset';

'Scarsen' and 'Schlessinger'.

Clump form Maples are becoming more popular every year. We now currently sell hundreds every

year. Our best trees have 3 to 6 stems each, and add that quality look to residential or commercial

plantings. They are identical to the species, or cultivar they represent, except they are multiple stemmed

trees, and remain so for the extent of their lives. They can easily be expected to reach 75 to 100 years

of age. A top quality premium and highly prized tree. Our Red Maple Clumps are from Bowhall, Autumn

Flame, Red Sunset, October Glory, and Schlessinger stock, therefore they have an assortment of fall

foliage colors. We are now growing, trimming, and training clump Acer rubrums to grow like a clump

Bellville, Ohio 44813 (419-883-3191) R-2016


EXPLANATION OF 70% CALIPER EQUIVALENT

FOR

CLUMP FORM TREES

70% Caliper Equivalent means that the bulk amount of the trunks

and top foliage above ground is equal to a comparable caliper tree. Therefore it

shall be dug with a 70% equivalent ball size. For example: A Clump Maple with

one of its largest trunks being 2" caliper. This tree cannot be dug with the same

ball size as you would dig on a 2" tree (26" B&B&R&W). This tree with one 2"

trunk also has two other trunks, each being 1.50" caliper. This tree, then with three

trunks, would have an accumulated caliper, and top foliage equivalent of a 5" tree.

(2" plus 1.5" plus 1.5" equals 5" caliper). The tree has a 5" caliper equivalent as

the size of the tree. The tree probably would not grow if dug with a 24-26" ball.

According to our standards, in order for the clump tree to survive properly the tree

should be dug with a ball 70% of its counterpart caliper equivalent. A full size ball

for a 5" Maple tree would be approximately 50" diameter. Therefore 70% of 50"

would be 35" and a 35-36" ball will carry the tree. The reasons for not digging a

full sized ball for the accumulated caliper is that, there is overlap of roots and ball

size of 70% allows for this. At the present time, we have determined this method

to determine how big to dig a ball of a clump maple tree. We welcome a better

method - idea - suggestions and comments!

Note: This applies to Acer rubrum, Acer saccharum, Acer platanoides, Betula,

Tilia and most other forms of clump form Ornamental and Shade trees. This easily

could become an addendum to our A.A.N. Standards.

Acer rubrum ‘Armstrong’, ARMSTRONG RED MAPLE (35')

Syn: Acer rubrum columnaris ‘Armstrong`. Early red flowers in Spring. Green summer foliage.

Brilliant red fall foliage color. A fastigiate, spire-like, columnar shade tree. Will fit into the narrowest

tree lawn or planting space. Leaves are palmate, dark green above, and glaucous beneath, colors orange-

yellow to orange-red in Autumn along with Red Sunset Red Maple. Color is dependent upon soil pH.

More acid soil produces more red coloring. Culture: Prefers good soil drainage. pH 5.5 to 7.0. Zone 3.

Acer rubrum ‘Autumn Flame’, AUTUMN FLAME RED MAPLE

(30-35' x 30-35' in 50 years)

Flowers: Reddish flower buds are noticeable in midwinter, and flowers are the

first to flower in very early Spring of all the Acer rubrums. Flowers are also the

darkest red. They are small but numerous. Leaves: In Spring they appear slightly

tinged reddish, and soon change to a medium green color, but are slightly smaller

than the other Red Maples. Fall Color: Leaves turn a bright deep red, dependably,

every Fall. Autumn Flame is the first of all the Acer rubrums to turn color in the Fall.

They also fall first. Growth Habit: Trees grow slower with slightly more branches,

that are slimmer, that do not ascend quite as quickly and produces a tree at maturity

about 15 to 20% shorter than ‘Red Sunset’ or ‘October Glory’. Culture: Prefers well

drained, but moist soils. Tolerates more moisture than Norway Maples. In extreme

dry summers, as the one experienced here in 1988, all of the Acer rubrums showed

some drought stress. None of our established trees died, but we watered all we could.

Small young trees require extra summer moisture. Prefers pH 6.0 to 7.5, sun or

partial shade. Zone 3.

Acer rubrum ‘Red Sunset’, RED SUNSET RED MAPLE

(45' tall x 35' spread in 50 years)

Early reddish colored Spring flowers are followed by excellent green Summer

foliage. Ascends upright and uniformly faster than Autumn Flame or October Glory Red

Maples. Mid-season dependable orange-red fall foliage color. An upright, spreading

shade tree, maturing into an oval shape. Upright, spreading branched top develops into

an upright oval shape. Silvery-gray bark is noticeably attractive in Winter. Personal

Observations: Undoubtedly the most popular shade tree in the north central and eastern

U.S.A. Demand for these trees far exceeds availability, primarily due to its exceptional

orange-red fall foliage color. It is the favorite tree used commercially and residentially

today! Culture: Prefers a well drained but moist soil condition. Grows well in stone, sand,

gravel or shale loams. Colors best in full sun, but will grow in semi-shaded areas. pH 6.0

“THE SUGAR MAPLES”

(Acer saccharum and cultivars)

Predominately one of the finest shade trees in North Central Ohio. They are long lived, and

relatively disease resistant, as attested by magnificent specimen trees aligning many streets,

avenues and boulevards in each and every village in all parts of North Central United States.

Sugar Maples are generally regarded as a slow grower, but when young, under 20 years of

age, they grow well for us, as it only takes approximately 1 year longer to get a 4" caliper tree than

with the Acer rubrums, with no irrigation except during drought times.

Sugar Maples all have a high sugar content in its sap in early Spring, and all can be used for

maple syrup production.

Sugar Maples are hardwood trees. There wood is strong, sturdy and holds up well during ice

and wind storms, and wounds heal easier, quicker and therefore adverse weather conditions do not

adversely affect them.

Fall colors of Sugar Maples are basically orange blends which accent well with the reds of

Acer rubrums and yellow of the Acer platanoides---all three are needed for color contrasts. Locusts

are earlier, as well as Ash, with all the Oaks and Pears being later in the season to color.

The Sugar Maples grow to great age and become quite large, but are misleading because after

they become 8-10" caliper, they grow more slowly and should be used considerably more in both

residential and commercial plantings.

Acer saccharum ‘Green Mountain’, GREEN MOUNTAIN SUGAR MAPLE

(45' tall x 35' wide)

A very hardy, strong, cold wind tolerant tree with branches that resist ice storm

breakage. Strong wind damage resistant, and ice storm breakage resistant

branches. Flowers appear in early Spring about two weeks after the Acer rubrums

bloom. They are yellowish-green and contrast well, at that time of year, among

shade trees. An extremely uniform grower which has an upright, oval crown of

dark green foliage which turns yellowish-orange with slight reddish shadings in the

Fall. Its handsome dark green leaves have more than twice the thickness of waxy

protective coating as do the typical Sugar Maples. Consequently, they retain their

full color in dry, windy summer weather which causes scorching in ordinary Sugar

Maples in the same area. This permits use of Green Mountain Sugar Maples

where drought and summer defoliation have eliminated Sugar Maple plantings.

Prefers well drained soils, tolerates sand or gravel soils. Culture: pH 6.0 to 7.5.

Sun or partial shade. Plant patent #2339. Zone 3. Our Experience: This tree is

absolutely the hardiest of all Maples we have grown to date. We have received

no frost cracking or any winter injury of any kind to date. Our Number 1 Sugar

Maple! It would rate No. 1 also, in a popularity pole, among experienced

landscape architects and our experienced Central U.S.A. Landscape Contractors!

Acer saccharum ‘Legacy’, LEGACY SUGAR MAPLE

(50' tall x 35' wide in 40-50 years)Plant patent #4979, also trademarked, was first introduced to the trade in 1983. It is just now being grown

in sufficient quantities to be economically feasible for its use. Overall Form: Grows more compact than Acersaccharum 'Green Mountain', or the species. Its shape is upright, compact, slightly oval. Makes a nice fullspecimen tree easily, without much trimming. Leaves are very dark green, exceptionally shiny, have heavysubstance and resist leaf tatter and drought. The tree develops numerous leaves by count and leaves developeven into the inner area of the trees crown. Fall foliage colors are exceptional! While the color is basicallyorange, as are most Sugar Maples, the outer edges respond to the earlier frosts, by turning various hues ofred. Being so dense, you'll easily see the tips and edges, a shade of red and orange mix contrasted with theorange. Leaves hold tight well into late December. After considerable freezes and cold weather, the leavesturn brown and hold on lightly until the buds push them off, usually in early January during the few warmerdays. Legacy Sugar Maples are smaller growing than Acer platanoides, the Norway Maples or Acer rubrumsor Tilias or Gleditsias. They reach a maximum height of approximately 50-60' tall by 30-35' wide in 30 years,under optimum growing conditions. They grow rapidly under 10 years of age, then slow down and will growto great age, if allowed to do so. They are resistant to leaf scorch and more drought tolerant than other formsof Sugar Maples. They are doing well for us as suburban street trees, in parks, in our residential plantings,and we recommend them highly. Zone 4-8.
