Sapindaceae
Acer saccharinum, commonly known as the silver maple, is a large deciduous tree with a broad, rounded crown, recognized for its rapid growth and deeply lobed foliage. The silver underside of its leaves creates a shimmering effect with the slightest breeze, bringing remarkable luminous dynamism to the landscape. Highly valued as a shade tree, Acer saccharinum is suitable for large properties, parks, and riparian developments due to its tolerance for cool and even temporarily wet soils. In autumn, its foliage turns pale yellow, sometimes tinged with golden hues. Hardy and adaptable, it toler tolerates urban conditions well, although it requires space to fully express its majestic form. Its rapid development makes it a wise choice for quickly creating shade and structuring a large garden.
