Maple, Parkway

Parkway maple (Acer tataricum subsp. ginnala 'Parkway') is a deciduous tree that is commonly used as a street tree and as an ornamental tree in landscapes. It is a subspecies of the Tatarian maple, and can grow up to 20 to 25 feet (6 to 7.5 meters) tall and 15 to 20 feet (4.5 to 6 meters) wide.

The tree has a rounded to spreading habit with a dense, symmetrical canopy, and produces small, fragrant white to pinkish flowers in late spring that are followed by small, red fruit in late summer. Its foliage is a glossy green color throughout the growing season, turning a beautiful red to orange color in the fall. The Parkway maple has a smooth, light gray bark when young, which eventually develops some furrows and fissures as the tree matures.

Parkway maple is known for its adaptability to a range of soil types and environmental conditions, and its resistance to pests and diseases. It is also tolerant of drought and urban pollution.
