feet in width. The overall shape of the tree is often described as a tear-drop with the trunk frequently splitting into many smaller branches. Leaves are alternate, simple, and shiny with wavy-toothed margins. Leaves turn yellow, orange and red in late autumn. Five-petal white flowers occur early in the spring before leaves appear. Small ½ inch, round, and green to brown fruits appear during late spring and summer. It spreads vegetatively and feely by seeds that are dispersed to new locations by birds that eat the fruit. ||  || || =//Acer rubrum//=

 * The tree grows in sun or partial shade, will tolerate alkaline soil if it is moist, and it transplants well. It is not particularly tolerant of drought,scorching at the leaf margins in summer drought. But this apparently does little long-term harm. It is more tolerant of heat and compact soil than American Basswood.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search ||~ //Acer rubrum// || Secure (TNC)[1] || L. || || //**Acer rubrum**// (**Red Maple**, also known as **Swamp** or **Soft Maple**), is one of the most common and widespread deciduous trees of eastern North America. It ranges from the Lake of the Woods on the border between Ontario and Minnesota, east to Newfoundland, south to near Miami, Florida, and southwest to east Texas. Many of its features, especially its leaves, are quite variable in form. At maturity it often attains a height of around 15.24 meters (50 ft). It is aptly named as its flowers, petioles, twigs and seeds are all red to varying degrees. Among these features, however, it is best known for its brilliant deep scarlet foliage in autumn. Over most of its range, red maple is adaptable to a very wide range of site conditions, perhaps more so than any other tree in eastern North America. It can be found growing in swamps, on poor dry soils, and most anywhere in between. Elevation is also not a limiting factor in its range, as it grows well from sea level to about 900 m (3,000 ft). Due to its attractive fall foliage and pleasing form, it is often used as a shade tree for landscapes. It is used commercially on a small scale for maple syrup production as well as for its medium to high quality lumber. It is also the State Tree of Rhode Island. __LINKS: * []__ || //Acer palmatum//

 * Japanese maple**

Japanese Maple has been grown in temperate areas around the world since the 1800s and has been cultivated in Japan for centuries.[2]. Numerous cultivars are readily available commercially and are a popular item at garden centres and other retail stores in Europe and North America. Red-leafed cultivars are the most popular, followed by cascading green shrubs with deeply dissected leaves.[2] It is also a popular and appropriate choice for bonsai enthusiasts and has been used throughout the history of the art.

Crab Apples are highly valued for their Spring blossom and colourful Autumn fruit. Fragrant flowers, mostly 2-5cm across, are borne singly or in corymbs and vary in colour according to variety. These are followed in Autumn by small fruit of differing colours. Leaves are alternate, oval to elliptic and most are toothed. ||~ //Malus// - Apples and Crabapples || //Malus floribunda// (Japanese crabapple) || ||<  ||< 1,563 ||

Do not plant Bradford pear. Seedlings and shallow-rooted plants can be pulled when soil is moist. Small trees need to be dug up or pulled out using a Weed Wrench®, ensuring removal of the root system. Large trees should be cut down and stumps treated with an appropriate systemic herbicide (e.g., glyphosate or triclopyr), following label directions, or ground up to prevent resprouting. If cutting is not possible, trees can be girdled during the spring and summer, by cutting through the bark all around the trunk, about 6" above the ground.
 * Prevention and Control**

[] || the trees are produced in early spring before the leaves expand fully and are white, with five petals, and about 2 to 3 cm in diameter. the tress are resistant to sickneses or blight and is killed more often by storm than by sickness. they have a sickly sweet smell


 * Plant: grows 30 to 50 feet tall and 20 to 30 feet wide; exhibits rapid growth (12 to 15 foot increase in height over 8 to10 years); has a short to moderate life span (25 to 30 years).
 * Leaves: simple, alternate, deciduous, shiny green and leathery with round-toothed margins; turn mahogany-red and sometimes bright orange-red in late autumn.
 * Flowers, fruits and seeds: produces showy white flowers in the spring before the leaves expand; small, round, brown fruits appear during late spring and summer.
 * Spreads: by seeds that are dispersed to new locations by starlings and other birds that eat the fruits.
