Korean Maple vs Ironwood Tree
Acer pseudosieboldianum
Ostrya virginiana
NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON
The Korean Maple is an ideal accent tree, and is similar in size and shape to the Japanese Maple, but much hardier. The leaves have long, finger-like lobes that turn striking shades of yellow, orange and red in autumn.
It is recommended that pruning be done during the summer after the leaves have fully developed to ensure sap does not "bleed" down the tree.
Ironwood Tree is one of the strongest and most resilient trees you will find in North America. In fact, it has the hardest and most dense wood of any North American tree. Prized for its oval shaped canopy and showy winter trunk, this striking shade tree will make a beautiful addition to any yard. Make sure you do not plant near roads as it is highly salt sensitive.
