Acer pseudoplatanus is a deciduous Tree growing to 30 m by 15 m at a fast rate.
It is hardy to zone 5. It is in flower from April to June, and the seeds ripen from September to October. The species is monoecious and is pollinated by Bees.
Suitable for: light , medium and heavy soils, prefers well-drained soil and can grow in heavy clay and nutritionally poor soils. Suitable pH: acid, neutral and basic soils. It can grow in semi-shade or no shade. It prefers moist soil. The plant can tolerate maritime exposure.

Landscape Uses:Firewood, Seashore, Specimen, Street tree. Of easy cultivation, it prefers a good moist well-drained soil and a sunny position, but tolerates most conditions including poor soils and some shade. Grows well in heavy clay soils. Chlorosis can sometimes develop as a result of iron deficiency when the plants are grown in alkaline soils, but in general maples are not fussy as to soil pH. Dislikes wet soils. Grows better in the cooler areas of the country. Very wind-resistant, tolerating maritime exposure though it is often wind and salt pruned in very exposed areas. A fairly aggressive tree, it self-sows freely and inhibits the growth of nearby plants. It is often one of the first trees to colonize open land. It is fast growing and establishes rapidly. It can supplant native trees, at least in the short-term, though recent evidence suggests that in the long term it does not usually become the dominant tree in British woodlands and it is often recommended for planting in broad-leaved woods by the Forestry Commission, especially in windy areas. Plants are subject to sooty bark disease - this is not fatal and occurs most often in years that follow hot summers. There are many named forms that have been selected for their ornamental value. Trees take 25 years to come into bearing from seed. Special Features:Not North American native, Naturalizing, Inconspicuous flowers or blooms.
