We have them here in upper southern Ontario Canada. I've always considered them a pest plant because I thought they were an invasive species. Now I know better. But I'll still be thinning them out to let the hard maple and oaks grow better.
Would striped maple make a good native landscaping tree on the north side of a house or does it only do well in the understory? Does the root structure spread like others over the Acer genus? My property is rife with silver maple, but I love the leaves and canopy of the striped maple and want to replace some of the dead/fallen saccharinums. I'm in zone 6a in NW Ohio, and I see the BONAP map shows it to be present and native.
In the story Farmer Boy, Almanzo goes out to the woods with his father, in upstate New York, and cuts down boughs of moose wood (another name for striped maple) and taking it home, strips the bark and weaves together a whip.
Just started getting into trees this summer and this channel is everything I have been looking for. Great channel. Please keep up the good work!
I like watching this series as review for my dendrology class.
Recommended to native plant gardeners for a good small tree. Incomparable buttery yellow fall foliage. Thanks for doing this.

I'm in central ontario near North Bay and they certainly are a pest, we hack away at them.
I have a beautiful striped maple in my back yard, but I've been taking down surrounding trees. How much direct sunlight can it handle?

It would make a great landscaping tree in the shade! It can spread a bit from the roots, but not too much.
Need more Newt please
yup. Can't have too much Newt :)
Don't we all!
