Description: Think of this Morton Arboretum release as a turbocharged, more hardy alternative to A. campestre. Rough corky bark and leaf shape are similar to Hedge Maple, but its stronger growth rate and ascending branch habit result in a larger mature size. Excellent drought and cold tolerance and clean, pest-free foliage.
