Maple, Sensation

Sensation maple (Acer platanoides 'Sensation') is a deciduous tree that is commonly used as an ornamental tree in landscapes. It is a cultivar of the Norway maple, and can grow up to 40 to 50 feet (12 to 15 meters) tall and 30 to 40 feet (9 to 12 meters) wide.

The tree has a broad, oval habit with a dense, symmetrical canopy, and produces small, yellowish-green flowers in the spring that are followed by paired, winged fruit in the fall. Its foliage is a deep, green color throughout the growing season, with bold, white margins on each leaf that give the tree a distinctive, variegated appearance. The Sensation maple has a smooth, gray bark when young, which eventually develops some furrows and fissures as the tree matures.

Sensation maple is known for its striking foliage color and unique appearance, as well as its adaptability to a range of soil types and environmental conditions. It is also tolerant of urban pollution.
