Maple Miyabe State Street 2.5"

A Morton Arboretum introduction, State Street Miyabe Maple is primarily valued in the landscape for its decidedly oval form. It has dark green deciduous foliage. The lobed leaves turn yellow in fall. The warty gray bark adds an interesting dimension to the landscape. Its average texture blends into the landscape, but can be balanced by one or two finer or coarser trees or shrubs for an effective composition.

This is a relatively low maintenance tree, and should only be pruned in summer after the leaves have fully developed, as it may ‘bleed’ sap if pruned in late winter or early spring. A fast grower, it prefers average to moist conditions, but isn’t picky about soil type or pH. It’s highly tolerant of urban pollution.
