Acer saccharinum (Silver Maple) 32 ct. Tubeling
Description
Silver maple is highly adaptable, thriving in moist soils along riverbanks, floodplains, and wetlands, but it can also tolerate drier conditions. Known for its rapid growth, it is often planted as a shade tree, although its brittle wood and shallow roots can make it susceptible to storm damage and infrastructure interference. Ecologically, Acer saccharinum is an important species for stabilizing streambanks and providing habitat for wildlife. Its wood is used for low-grade lumber and pulp, and its sap can be tapped for syrup production, though it is less sweet than sugar maple sap. Silver maple€™s resilience and adaptability make it a valuable but sometimes controversial species in both natural and urban landscapes.
