Acer × freemanii, Freeman maple or Freeman's maple, is a naturally occurring hybrid maple that is the result of a cross between Acer rubrum (red maple) and Acer saccharinum (silver maple). Wild specimens are found in eastern North America where the parent species overlap.
Acer × zoeschense, the Zöschen maple, is a hybrid maple, a cross between Acer campestre (field maple), and either Acer lobelii (L'Obel's maple) [1] [2] or Acer cappadocicum (Cappadocian maple). [ 3 ] [ 4 ] While Field Maple parentage is universally accepted, the second parent is uncertain, though the tree's extensive production of root ...
Acer saccharinum, commonly known as silver maple, [3] creek maple, silverleaf maple, [3] soft maple, large maple, [3] water maple, [3] swamp maple, [3] or white maple, [3] is a species of maple native to the eastern and central United States and southeastern Canada. [3] [4] It is one of the most common trees in the United States.
The following is a list of accepted species ordered alphabetically. Living species are from the Plants of the World Online database, [ 1 ] which is maintained by Kew Botanical Garden in London, with additions of extinct species from paleobotanical literature.
Acer nigrum, the black maple, is a species of maple closely related to A. saccharum (sugar maple), and treated by some authors as a subspecies of it, as Acer saccharum subsp. nigrum. [2] [3] Identification can be confusing due to the tendency of the two species to form hybrids. The simplest and most accurate method for distinguishing between ...
The type species of the genus is the sycamore maple Acer pseudoplatanus, one of the most common maple species in Europe. [5] Most maples usually have easily identifiable palmate leaves (with a few exceptions, such as Acer carpinifolium, Acer laurinum, and Acer negundo) and all share distinctive winged fruits.
Red maple is a good choice of a tree for urban areas when there is ample room for its root system. Forming an association with Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi can help A. rubrum grow along city streets. [20] It is more tolerant of pollution and road salt than sugar maples, although the tree's fall foliage is not as vibrant in this environment.
The species has been hybridized with Japanese Maple at the University of Wisconsin to produce a cold hardy tree with intermediate characteristics between the two parents. This hybrid has been named Acer pseudosieboldianum × palmatum 'Hasselkus' and marketed under the trade name Northern Glow®.
