    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    This large stately tree is one of the best for tough, exposed situations in any soil; ?one of few that will stand the full force of salt-laden winds? (Bean). S/M

    Vigorous and easy to grow in the nursery, this character lends the plant a tendency toward invasiveness, especially in rocky, dry conditions where other trees fail. Accordingly, these are offered strictly for rootstock use. This maple has the remarkable trait of being a kind of "universal donor" rootstock. We've grafted everything from Acer pentaphyllum to Acer griseum onto it successfully.
