A deciduous tree grown as a standard with a columnar or rounded crown, or in shrub form with an upright, spreading habit.
Among the large maples, the Norway maple is the one that best withstands pollution, wind and late frosts, which is why it is a classic street tree across northern Europe. Its very early yellow-green flowering is one of the season's first nectar sources for bees.
It is Norway's national tree — hence its English name — and its pale, resonant timber is used in violin making for backs and ribs.
