Produces glossy dark green foliage that holds and resists leaf tatter and drought.
The Legacy is dense and will mature with a uniform, oval crown. This Sugar Maple displays brilliant red and orange fall colors in cold areas and displaying more yellows in warmer areas.
The Legacy is fast growing for a Sugar maple; used for wide tree lawns, screens, shade, and as specimen tree. It is also good street tree.
The leathery leaves and durable foliage resists heat and drought.
Sugar Maple is among the most shade tolerant of large deciduous trees.
