Box Elder Maple
Box Elder Maple
The Box Elder Maple tree, Acer negundo, is also commonly known as Ashleaf maple, Manitoba maple, Box-elder maple, and Western box-elder. This deciduous maple tree is a small-to-medium-sized tree, reaching heights of 50 to 75 feet, with a trunk diameter up to 4 feet. The trunk is relatively short and tapering, and the crown is spreading and bushy. It is more often seen as a smaller tree with cane-like, bright green branches. Box Elder trees are fast growing and tolerate poor conditions. Although it grows best on moist soils, box-elder is drought and cold resistant. It can also tolerate flooding for extended periods (up to a month). The bark is smooth on young trees and then as it gets older the bark develops narrow ridges; mature trees have dark brown bark. These shade trees have brittle wood. Boxelder bugs eat seeds on female trees. The seeds are also a source of food for birds and mammals, and are important because they stay on the tree through winter, when other food resources are scarce! * Fast growing * Tolerates flooding * Food for wildlife
