Acer platanoides 'Deborah' DEBORAH MAPLE Dec (z4)
Showy the growing season through, this rounded (to 45') maple starts the spring with reddish-prpl foliage becoming a handsome deep bronze-green during summer, followed by a fine bronze in fall. Sun/Med

Negative PerryPost On Mar 28, 2005, PerryPost from Minneapolis, MN wrote:

Norway maples do not mature well in the midwest. Nearly every mature city Norway has a twisted trunk with a visible split twisting from root to crown. Does not age gracefully.

Was popular for its pollution tolerance in urban settings, but is being phased out from the list of elligible species for planting in many cities.

Reseeds like crazy and may have been listed as invasive in some east coast areas. Definately wreaking havoc in New England's Sugar Maple forests.

Please reconsider before planting this European species near naturalized, native, rural, or protected areas.
