Description
Box Elder Tree, or Acer negundo, is a fast-growing, long-living North American native species and member of the maple family. It is a hardy species that grows in the entire contiguous United States.
Box Elder Tree Is Very Adaptable
Because it is so adaptable to a wide temperature range, it is a favorite for gardeners and landscapers throughout the U.S. It plays a prominent role in parks, is installed along boulevards and sidewalks, and is used as a shade tree in backyards.
Some other common names for Acer Negundo are the following:
- Ash-Leaf Maple
- Ashleaf maple
- Box elder
The name and spelling variations refer to the same lovely type.
The Box Elder Tree Is a Resilient Species
After it lays down healthy roots, it is pollution-resistant, disease-resistant, and drought-resistant. It's also attractive to wildlife, including birds, butterflies, and bees—is pollution-resistant, disease-resistant, and drought-resistant after it lays down healthy roots. It's attractive to wildlife, including birds, butterflies, and bees--each species is a pollinator that can foster plant health.
When you plant it, ensure you find a full sunshine location. It also needs well-draining but moist soil; during an extended drought, you must provide about one to two inches of water per week.
As it expends a lot of energy with its quick growth pattern of two to three additional feet per year, so add organic compost or fertilizer at least twice yearly to keep it well-fed. Before the snow flies, it should receive an insulating cover of an inch or two of hardwood mulch in the coldest zones.
The gardener only needs to do essential maintenance to maintain it.
The Box Elder Tree Is A Medium Tree
It is a middle-sized type, generally reaching a mature height of around fifty feet and a forty-foot canopy width. The trunk is upright and light to medium brown.
The Box Elder Tree Has Stunning Stems
The leaves are opposite on the brown stems, oval, serrated, and with lobes. The color is bright green on top and a bit lighter underneath. In late spring, they have tiny cream-yellow flowers; however, the size is so small they are almost unnoticeable.
T.N. Nursery recommends the box elder tree for anyone who wants a fast-growing, lovely shade type.
