Acer nigrum
Large-leaved maple with spectacular autumn coloration in yellow and orange tones. Deciduous tree very resistant to cold, ideal for large gardens.
Black maple is a very hardy deciduous tree that tolerates extremely low temperatures (down to -30 °C), ideal for large outdoor gardens; plant it in autumn or spring in a spot with direct sunlight (6-10 hours per day). It requires moderate watering, especially during the first years of establishment, reducing frequency once the tree is mature and well-rooted. It prefers cool, deep, and well-drained soils and is not suited to dry Mediterranean climates. Caution: this plant is toxic — avoid contact with its sap and keep it away from children and animals.
