Family Sapindaceae

Acer platanoides ‘Columnare’ is an ornamental maple with a very narrow, columnar habit, ideal for structuring pathways, small gardens, or urban areas where lateral space is limited. Its dark green foliage offers an elegant presence throughout the season, then transforms into warm autumn colours (yellow/orange) to enhance the landscape visually in fall. Very hardy and adaptable to a variety of well-drained soils, this maple prefers full sun to partial shade for healthy growth and optimal colouration. Its slender silhouette makes it an excellent choice for vertical hedges, screens, or as an architectural focal point in landscape plantings.
