8-24" Bare Root Seedling
This native tree is the best maple species to use for syrup because of high sugar content and is a common component of beech-maple forests of the eastern US.
This species does well both in your landscape or forest habitats, and this is your tree if you want to convert an old field to a “sugar bush”!
Height: 50-80 ft
Soils: rich, slightly acidic, moist soil
Water: intermediate drought tolerance
Light: Full sun-partial shade
Wildlife: Excellent source of food and nesting/denning sites. Sap can be used to make maple syrup.
