Description: The Acer Emerald Queen, a distinguished variety of Norway Maple, commands attention with its impressive upright-oval crown and dense canopy. This cultivar has earned its reputation as one of the finest street and parkland trees, combining robust growth with striking seasonal beauty.

In spring, the tree awakens with a display of yellowish-green flowers, followed by the emergence of large, dark green leaves that create an exceptional cooling shade throughout summer. The foliage is particularly noteworthy for its glossy appearance and robust nature, maintaining its deep green color even during the warmest months. Come autumn, the tree transforms into a spectacular show of golden yellow, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere in any landscape.

The Emerald Queen exhibits excellent resistance to urban conditions, making it an ideal choice for both residential and commercial settings. Its strong, symmetrical branching structure develops naturally, requiring minimal pruning to maintain its elegant form. The tree's medium-fast growth rate ensures relatively quick establishment, typically adding 30-45cm per year under optimal conditions.

Ideal For:

  • Avenue planting
  • Urban streets
  • Large gardens
  • Parks and public spaces
  • Creating natural shade areas
  • Specimen planting

Care Requirements: Plant in well-drained soil in a sunny to partially shaded position. While adaptable to various soil types, it thrives best in fertile, moisture-retentive ground. Young trees benefit from regular watering during their first growing season to establish a strong root system. Annual mulching in spring helps retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Available Sizes:

  • 8-10cm girth: 3.5-4m height
  • 10-12cm girth: 4-4.5m height
  • 12-14cm girth: 4.5-5m height
  • 14-16cm girth: 5-5.5m height

All our Acer Emerald Queen specimens are container-grown, ensuring excellent establishment rates and extended planting seasons.
