Characteristics of the Norway maple Drummondii
This is a deciduous tree. Norway maples, the crown diameter of which reaches 15 m with a height of 20 m, have an oval dense crown with palmate leaves of 2 colors. Inside they are green, framed with a white shade at the edge. When blooming, they acquire a pink color. By autumn they acquire yellow. The entire vegetation season they change the scenery, striking the imagination with unexpected transformations of tones. Young branches have a yellow-green light shade.

The maple flowers are yellow-green, round and flat. The grafted form of maple has 2 varieties:

An extremely rare yellow-edged one that burns out if grown alone.
Regular silver-edged.
To prevent brown edges from appearing on the leaves during prolonged rains, Drummondi should be planted together with other trees. It can preserve the purity of the color of the leaves only when covered by the "caring" crown of other trees.

The Drummondii variety of Norway maple is very demanding of soils. It grows comfortably in areas that are fertile and moderately moist. If leaves without a characteristic border appear in the crown, they are removed to the very base so as not to blur the characteristics of the variety. Maple pruning is carried out only when all the leaves have blossomed, otherwise the tree will lose a lot of sap and will have difficulty recovering. At this time, wounds heal easily. By mid-September, the foliage falls.

The plant is widely used in landscape design: in hedges, in group and single plantings. The decorative value of the tree includes: variegated foliage and a lush, unusual crown.
