Korean Maple
Prairie Splendor Norway Maple

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.

Prairie Splendor Norway Maple has stunning burgundy to purple foliage in every season. It is an attractive, ornamental shade tree. Bright yellow flowers form along the branches in early spring before the leaves,

It is relatively cold-hardy, but may need some protection to thrive in colder climates. With its large oval shape and dense foliage, the Prairie Splendor Norway Maple will make a great addition to your yard and provide shade once mature.
