A decidious Tree growing to 10 m (32ft 10in).
It is in flower in May, and the seeds ripen in August. The flowers are hermaphrodite (have both male and female organs) and are pollinated by Insects.
The plant prefers light (sandy), medium (loamy) and heavy (clay) soils, requires well-drained soil and can grow in heavy clay soil.The plant prefers acid and neutral soils..It cannot grow in the shade.It requires moist soil.
Common in the understory of the forests of eastern North America, mountain maple is also an attractive subject for lightly shaded gardens. Typically forming a large multi-trunked shrub, it bears dark green leaves with toothed margins and three pointed lobes. The leaves turn bright orange, red, or yellow in fall. Unique, upright, conical clusters of small yellow flowers appear at the branch tips in late spring, later than those of most other maples. Drooping two-winged fruits follow the flowers, maturing from green to showy rose-pink. The bark is dark pewter-gray.
This lovely but short-lived maple likes moist, well-drained, humus-rich, acidic soil and partial shade. It fares poorly in areas with hot summers. Plant it in a woodland edge or as an understory tree, preferably where its colorful fall leaves and fruits will receive the attention they deserve.
