Acer platanoides 'Drummondii'
This is the most common and easliy recognized Maple. Drummondii are medium sized threes that can grow up to 15 m or more. The striking variegated deeply lobed leaves have green centers, with a wonderful cream margin, that brighten everything around them. It is a broad-headed tree with a neat, dense crown. The light foliage works well as a contrast to darker plants. You can plant it in full sun or in a partially shaded location.
O této rostlině
Acer
Maples (Acer) form a large genus of trees and shrubs, nearly all from the northern hemisphere and many from China. They range from small multi-stemmed trees to large shade trees. Their opposite, usually lobed leaves, colourful young growth, winged fruits and above all their fiery autumn colours make them garden classics.
Acer platanoides
The Norway maple is a European tree, found from Scandinavia to Spain and east to the Caucasus. It grows fast into a large tree of 20 to 30 m with a dense, rounded crown. The glossy dark green, sharply lobed leaves turn golden yellow in autumn, and clusters of yellow-green flowers appear on the bare branches in early spring.
Stanoviště a půda
Adapts to most soils as long as they are deep enough for its vigorous root system; prefers fertile, moist ground and also tolerates lime. Avoid waterlogged or peaty soil. Sun to light shade. Very hardy and fairly drought tolerant.
Řez a péče
Easy to grow. Train young trees to a single leader and, in winter (December to February), remove dead, crossing or badly placed branches. The dense, competitive roots make underplanting difficult, and the tree does not cope well with sealed paving over its root zone.
Použití v zahradě
A robust tree for parks, large gardens and avenues, valued as a specimen and for shade. Its many garden forms, with purple or variegated leaves and columnar or globe-shaped crowns, extend its use to smaller gardens and narrow spaces.
